Compromise: civillians engage in ancestor worship, praying to the warriors in their families/villages past for protection, while huntsman and huntresses act as saint-soldier types and are placed among the ancestors as guardian spirits if they die while fighting grimm. that would also eplain why eveyr hunstman and huntrss has a personal symbol, something that can easily be added to a family shrine or place of worship if they die.
