Nearly every ruler of Asylon was an Astroist. It doesn't matter whether you are in the religion or not. If you don't follow the crowd you either get ignored or dismissed. IMO it was much more fun developing a new religion and all the freedom that came along with it. General disinterest in Dwilight post Jonsu/Blight is what is killing SA. I don't see any messages to full members except when the private election announcements are made (the brief bit about a harem notwithstanding).
