Sorry, was unclear. I get the anestor worship angle. I meant the power of gods bit.

While I do understand the vigilance culture meaning they won't ask for direct intervention, protective deities are still in order to prevent encounters in the first place, and to lend strength (possibly in Aura form) to fend them off. When people pray nowadays, most aren't really expecting a thunderbolt out of the blue, merely circumstance conspiring. That's the sort of protective deities I imagine.
