Plenty of atheist or semi-atheistic 'philosophical' sorcerers come from the south-eastern corner of the Holy Country (in and around God Forgot, the islands south of the Esvulari homeland): read through the common religions "No God Church" and "Unknown God Church" on HQ p.44, then imagine for yourself what a solitary adept with a similar (or more philosophical?) outlook might be getting up to.
