Sanctity is man made (or dwarf made or whatever) and bends to the expectations of those faithful who invest their energy into their faith.
There is not 'right religion' in the sense that 'Yahweh cold kick Shaitan's' butt or that 'Mohammed is a better prophet than Jesus'. A group of satanists would gain little power in a church chock full o' catholic sanctity, and a jesuit would be powerless in the wilderness where the residual energies of the beasts and birds allow druids to draw heavily on that local sanctity.

The fact that minds believe in a particular thing is important, the truth of that particular thing is much less important.

Anyway, just a thought.
The problem is that once again that would establish pretty much unequivocally that the monotheists are wrong.
