Hasni Mubarak raises an interesting point about people switching
to Barntar rather than be identified as Orlanth worshippers under
Lunar occupation.

HM:>Oh, a quick question about Lunar Occupation. I remember
reading that people were dropping Orlanth like a hot potatoe but
there were all of a sudden a billion and one Barntar worshipers.
Is it just me, or does it seem odd to drop a god and pick up a
new one? I mean, even a close associate is a different god, right?
RW parralel, it's one thing to switch from Catholic to Episcipalion,
but another to go from Luthern to Hindu, no? Or do I put to much
value on the oaths of initiation?

I suspect this is a case of taking the rules as indicative of what
happens in Glorantha - which I understand we're not supposed
to do.

It also seems to me that judging the behaviour of the mass of
Gloranthans from the attitudes of player characters may be
unsafe. PCs in my experience are much more hard and fast in
their attitudes. "Any chaos is all chaos" is a typical PC attitude
but we know the Telmori have a place (albeit often a disputed
one among the Tribes of Sartar. If the Sartarites took the PC
line I feel the wolf people would have been slaughtered years
ago.
