YGWV, but I calculated that the city which is the base for my Lunar campaign has 9% of its adult population at devotee level or equivalent (ordinate, etc.) So devotees are hardly the norm, but also hardly likely to be treated as raving nutters. Except for those devotees that *are* raving nutters, of course (Jakaleeli types, I'm looking at you...)
Of course, I realise that this won't be the same in other people's campaigns (including Greg's, one suspects), but it's what feels right to me. So, obviously, from my perspective, any rules that encourage a proportion of devotees around that level in big Lunar cities would get my support. The proportion would presumably be higher in, for example, Heortling lands, but I haven't yet done a big spreadsheet for that to figure out more precise estimates.
