I'm thinking that Church of the Holy Fire is the central body, devoted to Prometheus worship. They perform most civic ceremonies - birth, marriage, funeral by cremation.

The Seekers of Truth and Enlightenment are monks that study Deela. There are many sects and some have some very odd practices.

Hero Cults tend to be exclusive. Though they will take sacrifices from anyone and perform their oracle bit, they are very selective about who gets admitted. Technically, the Heroes mortal incarnations of the Heptads, so in some cases those angelic beings are worshiped alongside the cult's eponym. Not all Heroes are warriors - there are also Healers and Inventors and some that are pretty random.

The Heptarches in the form of ancient gods get some lip service, but have no actual temples.

How devote you want the people (do they pray three times a day or only once>) is up to you.
