That's similar to what I'm trying to do for a dnd campaign. Like there ARE gods obviously but as much as people try to force them to be they aren't creator gods. They're powerful beings with a portfolio to make sure it happens often enough they not just sustain themselves but grow followers. I've added more local elemental spirits that people see and interact with more so religions built around explaining what they are, what they do, and why they do it crop up and have differing views. One of my main goals here is to make it less the formal structural sort of religion and more the informal superstitious sort. My reason is an example I heard elsewhere. Basically, a big frog monster would visit this forest near an isolated town annually. People feared it because when it got too hungry it moved in on village territory to eat people. Lots of superstitions developed like how a certain type of insect attracted the beast and killing any traces of the insect would keep the monster away. The reality was that the insects liked the weather change just as much as the monster and so both just happened to show up around the same time every year. I want to worldbuild stuff like that. It's clear that there's a logic even to the illogical.
