I was thinking more like baptised catholic, baptist, bar mitzphed, etc...not really skills/pts based but roleplaying/flavor based...(as a GM toward PCs)...if a PC priest wanted to use random hired bums instead of close associates or an established congreation...I would probably give him a reaction roll...and base the believer/nonbeliever ratio off that...so he would be somewhat crap shooting what energy he might get.... ;->
