I think the issue with the idea of religion being an important or not so important part of an average medieval man/woman's life stems from the generally accepted wide view of Medieval life as a whole by most, in reality medieval life was massively varied and changed rapidly over the years and in different countries, its very difficult to have a view of an 'average' medieval life.
Lately I've been hearing more about how belief in god or indeed simply a higher power was just a generally accepted norm by most common men and women but they rarely took any in depth interest or care in it. Indeed most church goers simply went for the community gathering rather than actually for the teachings and connection to god.
But eh, in terms of Mesalia..theres very little in the ways of open religious influence to bring about what actually existed in Medieval times, and of course its up to characters and players too.
