Common faithful should not question the clergy. Especially not in a SMA continent. Religions which encourage this should be warned.
Religions should be among the most controlled mechanics in the game, imo. There's something seriously wrong that we can for example create a religion to "worship" a god of Trade, without any code of morals/conduct/practise, but that we can't use the "duel" mechanic to simulate a joust.
Religions should reflect realistic religions, and not be abused and used as something more akin to modern frat houses. People are free to create guilds for such groups.
Rubbish. Not all religions have installed a clergy that is an "absolute" authority over their flock. Even some medieval Christian sects had the concept of the Clergy as a guide who is also following the journey rather then "absolute" and the reality for parish preachers was certainly much different the respect and obedience a bishop could command.
