What I actually said was "In most RW cases [religious proposition] X in fact had far-reaching social implications." and stated my belief that such consequences should be developed in glorantha rather than stipulating that you could die for saying X in place Y, such that western PC types will not succumb to sophistry or cynicism.
In any event, the Arian controversy was not the biggest doctrinal split (most divergent would be a better description) and it involved a rejection of Greek philosophical methods in defining the nature of God (which probably enhanced its appeal to the laity and later on to the Goths). For a gloranthan analogy, "Arian" communities might have fewer wizards than other Malkioni communities as well as an aversion to philosophical speculation (leading to fewer sorcerers as well).
