It is, but that doesn't mean people are going to favour the specific god that answers a little more. People don't normally pray to the whole of heaven, and there's a huge amount of pantheons represented here - if someone's praying to an Egyptian god, why would that give them any reason to believe in someone from the Greek or Roman or whatever other pantheon?

[Especially since religion does tend to be a little single-minded, in his experience. So many people seem to believe that if you have faith in one pantheon's existence, it precludes any others.

Shun doesn't normally deal in the theoretical and philosophical, so this is new to him as well, but he seems to be considering it fairly deeply even if the speed with which he responds makes it hard to tell.]

And have you seen how many of those are empty? I've been through more empty temples than I'd give a damn about counting today, not to mention it's impossible to tell whether an old or new god inhabits a temple unless you check yourself. I'm not saying there might not be a lot of them, but if our numbers keep growing and theirs stay static we're going to pass eventually.
