ngl but I feel the attitude among many people who are insistent on "but what if the Prime Deities are bad/the Vanguard does have a point" assumes a very western and Christian view of deities as all-powerful entities who will individually intervene on your behalf, as well as an understanding of religion purely as centralized, with the gods and their followers in perfect lockstep.

The world of Exandria has made it abundantly clear this isn't the case. While Vasselheim is a city run by religious interests and has significant political power and cultural importance, the three largest political powers on Wildemount are all significantly out of sync with it - the Concord is ruled secularly and permits private worship of any deity, the Empire prohibits worship of several of the Prime Deities of import in Vasselheim, and the Dynasty is a theocracy in the name of a divine entity outside of the Prime/Betrayer dichotomy. Tal'Dorei and Marquet are similarly secular in rule. We've also seen that the way in which people worship the same deity can vary wildly; the obvious example is Fjord and Caduceus, but we've also seen multiple devotees of the Raven Queen, Kord, and Ioun with very different practices, and the sourcebooks discuss further small sects and different interpretations. Personal worship seems to be fairly decentralized outside of specific places like the Dynasty and Vasselheim, and Vasselheim permits a diversity of options as well, although with limitations.

In general, the problem with, say, Tuldus, isn't "your religious trauma or disillusionment isn't valid"; it is. The problem is that this was visited upon him by specific mortals, not the deity they worship, and certainly not the entire pantheon which is itself locked in cataclysm-level disagreement and has been for millennia.

On the good side, I think [Percy] finally at least realized that he has a family; that he wasn't alone… And I think he understands that now, because he feels very guilty and ashamed for being such a burden to his family, and that he's been screwing everything up. He's going to spend the next few episodes trying to make up for that very badly. From a place of deep shame and guilt, which is the greatest place to try and be helpful and remind everybody that you're more than a demon that tried to murder them. It'll go great. It goes great. Really helpful. He's going to be super helpful. Nothing bad is gonna happen.
