> Theism, in the text, is about something that you are
The actual statement is "an affinity is something you are". Given that the Westerners worship Saints, the Praxians worship Waha and Eiritha and practically every other animist follows a Really Big Spirit of some sort, to characterise the emulation of immortals as the sin qua non of theism is at odds with what we know about glorantha.

So how do you think a Praxian should follow Waha given that they have had Khans/Rune Lords of Waha and the like for over twenty years?
