Barbarian Adventures says they have a common religion with the rest of Sartar and a shared ancestry with the Dundealos tribe. My interpretation of that is straight theism although they could well have a higher percentage than usual of Kolatings and some people who worship Eiritha and Storm Bull rather than Ernalda and Urox. You will also have a lot of Beren and Redaldan followers.

That's been discussed before and the conclusion was that Storm Bull/Urox is both a God and a Great Spirit. So not mis-applied worship. Which I personally avoid whenever possible although I accept it has its place.
