Unless I am significantly misunderstanding, that is not what is being said here.
The fear is not that SA will be destroyed, but rather that it will lose its hegemony and its power over the doings of realms—which will destroy what makes it unique and special in BattleMaster, and reduce it to being just another flavour-of-the-month also-ran religion, like nearly every other religion in the whole game.
This.
If Leopold were even slightly pious, it'd be NBD. I have hope for SA retaining a hold in LN and FR: FR because there are still some dedicated characters and because of heritage and proximity; LN because of Alice and rivalry with D'Hara and Swordfell. As long as any of those three are Astroist, the other two will at least pay lip service.
But LE adds nothing to SA. Niselur and Asylon have some real stellar RPers: problem is they're people who really like to play a character who's piously and sacrifically devoted to messing up the things other players have spent years building.
