I'm not sure who you've been talking to, Kit, with the idea that religion shouldn't be a big deal in Mesalian setting. I'll assume this was an ooc discussion?

Dusken has always been religious - she's just rather quiet about it, and tends to pay respect towards all, rather than fanatic worship or mediocre worship or whatnot.
This fits with her normal personality - she doesn't force any views on anyone, but she will talk about it, if it comes up. And she has; with Arua, Xemnes, Colette...
She is also decently knowledgeable about Mesalian religions; considering her upbringing and (secondary) craft.
She also has -always- believed that this was a religious pilgrimmage; or perhaps, a spiritual/religious one. One meant to try and create growth for a person's spirit and knowledge, test them, so they can become better and more worthy as people, when they reach the end. She was trying to study the beacons, the lettering here and there, and the places they had stopped at. She has also been trying to leave offerings of thanks at some of their stops (Farmer Joe, the Monk..) Her quiet way of trying to help people better themselves was rather difficult considering she's quiet, and dislikes confrontations and such, but she is/was trying.
There were a couple people, perhaps? That were content being privately religious while on this journey. Some of this could have been due to the lack of religion-content-lore (which IS being worked on), some could be due to not comfortable with roleplaying it out in front of others.. or because like IRL, sometimes it's more a private matter.
