@Zippie: The term God Powers is standard gaming terminology, so I don't see a problem with it.

As for the religious aspect, I read on some other thread that some people wanted more temples and stuff like that. So maybe LDW was trying to satisfy that?

In any case, I agree they went a bit heavy handed on the religious aspect without intending to offend people. It doesn't bother me and I know there is a spiritual aspect to the games, but the way they did it in VV5 was kind of, I dunno, more religiously loaded than usual.
