[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8359474, member: 93670"] There are clerics in eberron where existence of the gods is explicitly unprovable by design. Darksun may not have clerics, but they do have elemental priests & whatever a gm decides to allow but what you are talking about (especially the underlined bits) Both of those settings take a wildly different spin on alignment than the one from FR & Greyhawk you are referencing. I'm not sure about undead in darksun, but it's quite te rabbit hole in eberron & I'm not even sure where to start on it because of the deity thing. We haven't even gotten into the role played by the SKs & The Draconic Prophecy vrs "deities that invest divine power in chosen agents either". And [I]then[/I] there is Ravenloft & The Dark Powers... All of your post is pretty much exemplifying how the core 5e books & core rules are FR First Last & Only. 5e's approach denies all of those other settings the tools they need to feel like the game fits the setting.
