I assume so too, but I would have specified this on the character sheet (as I would any special items ONCE I had defined them - until then just a fancy name will do).

I'd agree with David here, animists get little enough for their magic. For just saying 'He worships Orlanth' a theist can get unlimited uses of a potentially unlimited (with improvisation) number of magical effects. The animist gets one use per day of 5...

Yup.
The various writeups I've seen also make quite a few assumptions - sensible ones, like assuming 'Grazer' as a cultural keyword here, assuming 'Heortling' elsewhere - which make sense if you are creating a 'standard' background character for the campaign. These save wordage, and allow more individualising of characters.
