I would have a problem treating any subcult of a deity as a common religion, since deities have their own Otherworld, rather than residing in the Inner World which is the source of common magic.
I think there are a plethora of subcult variations or hero cults which aren't documented and which would make sense in anyone's Glorantha (well, maybe it wouldn't make sense to have ALL of them). I'm doing this routinely in my game to spice things up.

So he's really an animist (perhaps a spirit-talker) who is trying to join Lhankor Mhy in order to understand the spirit world?

Doesn't ring a bell, though I think there were people with natural affinity for spirits. (Though one such event is probably with a "common magic spirit.")

Perhaps one has to start by not being a person?
