Here's a question thats been of some interest, both ICly and OOC: are the Bloodstars "gods?"

The Bloodstars are certainly all-powerful beings worthy of worship, and which work in Mysterious Ways. They fit a description of a God in that sense.

The reasons you will sometimes see people argue that Bloodstars are not gods is that there is no place for the supernatural in Sanguis Astroism. Either something exists, or it doesn't. The Stars are part of the natural world. They're the real thing.

It does not actually offend the Bloodstars if you worship a different god. It's probably part of their plan. You will be unhappy though, because your god won't help you to achieve balance. It's probably not real anyway, but there is always the possibility that other gods do exist as beings, ghosts or something. They still feel the Bloodstars though.

Note that SA has been known to integrate other religions (notably The Seven) without trouble.
After all it's a roleplaying game.
