That "omniprotent, omnipresent and omiscient bullshit" was at the core of
what we are trying to imitate in BM. "European middle-ages" was not about
the greek myths, it was all about the catholic church. Monotheistic
religions don't really interest me, and polytheistic religions have alot
more flavour in my opinion, but I don't see the logic in wanting to
eliminate what basicly defined the world in which the game is inspired.

Other than that, the whole idea just sounds too pantheist...
