Yes, except insofar as "Natha" .is merely a metaphor for a higher Lunar truth.
You shouldn't imagine that the higher Lunar principle is a Nathic one. It transcends all Lunar Forms and Aspects.

This is a very interesting historical question, indeed a philosophical Lunar history question, and the people most likely to provide you with a satisfying answer would be Mark, Martin, Peter, Nick, Greg, and Steve.

This is Aspect stuff. Current worshippers of Natha are far more warlike than historical ones, simply because they consider war to be a viable path towards the general Illumination of the Inner World.
Taxes are paid, so who cares ?
