Gods And God

(In Lancaster University Religious Studies Department, someone displayed a cartoon on the noticeboard. A man in pajamas kneels in prayer beside his bed. Above the bed hovers a familiar figure with a hammer. The man says, "Oh, I'm sorry, Thor. I thought when I said, 'God,' I'd get, well, you know...Jehovah!")

Poul Anderson does present a very few details about human religion after the Long Night. Evalyth "...from a half barbaric part of Kraken..." tells her unborn child, "You will grow up...as the gods meant you should."
-Poul Anderson, Flandry's Legacy (New York, 2012), pp. 663, 687.

In accordance with Krakenite custom, Evalyth intends to kill her Atheian husband's killer. In the absence of any contrary evidence, I will assume that Captain Jonafer is also from Atheia, the most civilized of the Allied planets. Jonafer appeals to Evalyth:

"'I hoped...that you'd agree to let the man go...'
"'No.'
"'In the name of God -'
"'Your God.'" (p. 700)

So we seem to have barbaric polytheist Krakenites and civilized monotheist Atheians? But no one makes any comparison of Lokonese cannibalism with Christian communion.
