Then ignore it. One of the important things to learn about Glorantha is that there's far too much to bother with all of it for most people. Follow the bits that interest you and matter to your game. If your Glorantha follows the Godlearner monomyth then it varies from canon but YGWV anyway so it doesn't matter. Personally I like the idea that there are a multitude of variations which clash with each other but I don't fuss about the full background to each one.
If you're playing a pirates RPG based in the real world you don't need to read up on the historical origins of the various Christian sects in spite of the fact that most characters will be members of one sect or another.
