Eliwood might be less conservative in values than others, but at best, he's still rich, sheltered, and privileged in basically every respect, even if that does come with a side of what's typically termed as "slacktivism".
Exactly.
There's just very little on how important it is, outside the theocracies/clerics and the few people who've outright rejected the whole thing.
There's also the possibility that FE-brand organized religions really are a bit more like the state religion of the Roman Empire, a ceremonial thing that nobles and the upper classes have the money to participate in, but that the peasants maybe have their own gods or folk practices and don't much care about what Bishop so-and-so says. I dunno what that translates to in modern times other than the startling amount of "Catholics" who don't follow orthodox practices and don't plan to start.
