Monarchism reigns in Aurvandil.
Mendicant hasn't declared war on religion, he's merely rejected it within his own dominion. He certainly hasn't stated an intent to destroy religions external to his own Commonwealth. You don't need a church when you have a Monarchy, you don't need the promises of a religion when you have the earthly benevolence of Monarchism, and you soon find that God's become irrelevant in the shadow of a true Monarch, after all, God's were only ever modeled on the majesty of Monarchs.
You could call Mendicant a God-King, but that would just belittle the royal person as something seemingly inferior to the Highest of Sovereigns.
Looks like a modern atheist dictatorship like North Korea or such, just that with the monarchist ideology instead of the communist. Hope you are not RPing him like that, as it is extremely modern. Or at least it seems so to me.
Middle Ages and Ancient Times had people fearful of the unknown, and sometimes people portrayed as
equal to their deities, but never the view of the gods as beneath humans. Not even the Mongols who are likely those that got closer to something like it.
