There's nothing specific on Carmanian in ILH-2, ILH-1 covers the Carmanian religion. The Carmanians are mainly theistic. They may be notionally monotheistic but it will often be a judgement call whether "heretic" or "pagan" fits better. The Waertagi are similar, but I think more inclined to "proper" monotheism.

The Lunar religions are a whole different ball game. I would be tempted to take the easy way out and treat them all as theists for this specific purpose, even those whose magic is "sort-of-wizardry".
