Why? Most Christians and Moslems would agree they worship 'the same' god: do you see 'em all lining up to form a large religious conglomerate? Rather they ahve more or less heated discussion/ crusades with the implicit subtext "You guys are doing the Worship thing _totally_ wrong..." And as in Glorantha, there's no Gold Standard test to see what is or isn't the same entity...

Bear in mind that according to the Evil God Learner Aspect of Greg (the one that wrote the rules for misaligned worship), mish-mashes of Praxian and Orlanthi religion would be _worse_ than either, individually, not infused with hybrid vigour. (Other Aspects might agree with this conclusion, just via a less mechanistic route.)

Cheers,
Alex.
