Michael is different to everyone who prays to him? What does that mean? Does he personally descend from the heavens to speak with everyone who prays? 

That's a serious question, by the way, not sarcasm. I have no real idea how religion works in this setting, but surely it must be that way, if there are no priesthoods or teachings or anything. I mean, how is a religion supposed to flourish without a hard-working PR department? Then again, I suppose the very premise of the game is that religious worship is in the toilet.

Is it possible to have a character who just shrugs his shoulders at the entire god business but still joined the resistance because the Apotheoses need to be dealt with?
