Possibly, but to me I think it seems to have a bigger basis on the story of Cain and Abel from the Bible, though with a different, slightly less violent ending. One good, older brother, other one was jealous and tried to show him up, that sort of thing. Still, I can see how you can see that, considering that the Brothers Grimm DID create many of our [in]famous fairy tales, so for them to be creation gods would be a neat shoutout.

Also, apparently religion is a rare thing to see in Remnant, and that various people have created various gods, which they made a small mention of thanks to the Ship Captain in Episode 3 ["by the gods"]. Makes sense too, many cultures means many beliefs. Just a greater testament to how similar our world and theirs can be sometimes.

Brings up another question: did the Great War also involve religion? After all, they were warring over creativity and freedom to be yourself, so who's to say it didn't involve the "freedom of religion as part of expression" sort of thing?
