How does the second play in? Sure, a modern society is likely secular, but what power of the gods are you referring to? If you mean Aura, I don't see how it's relevant. It's just a fact of life for them. It's natural to them, thus they won't think of it the same way. Our own ability to make tools is similarly powerful (albeit more subtle), but that doesn't prevent us from having religion. As to the Grimm, having many natural predators would likely make them more likely to seek protector deities, from whom Aura and Dust are gifts.
