They're good points. The first is a bit too farfetched of a coincidence to quite work. Not an idea that should be dismissed off-hand and there have been stranger coincidences, but it falls lower on the list.
The second point is certainly a fair one. Votelli and Sotero seem fully birthed into existence as themselves, but the new generation of gods are all assuming the mantles of someone else. While they're all acknowledged as new reincarnations by all pantheons, something certainly broke in the system. With no visible change in the system, it's possible the cult moved to a new tactic.
And for the third point...
"The second point makes sense. It's strange enough Egyptian and Greek and Roman and etc. gods are now tied to Japan and gaining popularity here, but from a Near Shore perspective, the gods didn't change.
"I can see the third point too." Though no one here has also seen how truly bad Heaven can get. She has the stories of her temple, she's seen Takami's nightmare, but that's still not the same as living through a massacre. "I think the cult has continued to be more of a thorn, but the inaction of the old gods are frustrating as well as their unwillingness to listen. I think it's also possible there's an old god or shinki manipulating the cult to antagonize us and hoping to take advantage of a schism that might occur."
