Not so. It's not even true for the Brithini.
People in the Kingdom of Malkion were proud of their knowledge and mastery of Logic. Malkioni all knew that Logic was the basis for their lives. With Logic they recognized the difference between matter and ebergy, and differentiated anything non- logical to be instinct, unthoughtful and therefore inferior. Further, the sorcerers of Malkion had access to the power of Reason, for they still knew of Malkion the Seer, who they called the Prophet. The Prophet had disappeared. The Zzaburites afterwards endlessly discussed reality, to refine their keen understanding. This mastering of Reason and understanding did have a benefit. With its lessons, the sorcerers were able to manipulate both matter and energy to affect humans, the world, and the spirits all around them. In that way the sorcerers were able to cause great catastrophes to preserve their people from divine magical and human assaults. RM p18
If Reason can be used to perform magic, then Logic could also be used likewise.

Because the Seshnegi and the Stygians are mixed worshippers. They worship their gods and spirits as gods and spirits unlike the Aeolians who worship their gods as Saints.
