You have a great many cultures out there that have quite different social standards. This I would agree with, but I think it would still revolve around the gods. for example: Say the gods only wanted the people to build giant temples through out the land- and cared for little else. You would likely find the temples the location for marriages and coming-of-age ceremonies. I think you are either overestimating people living in a dangerous world or underestimating vengeful and irritable gods. I have trouble believing people, as a society, are going to question or rebuke an immortal being capable of killing them.. or doing much worse.Respectfully submittedFD</blockquote>
