Agreed, but I'd go further. Different communities may resolve the same conflict differently because they don't communicate with each other enough to realise they are different. So the Humakti temple in Boldhome may be very different from the one in Smithstone. In the bigger cults like Orlanth that will probably express itself in different subcults being popular but with smaller cults it's far more individualistic.
