Despite the strange beliefs of the Ylvainan Faith, Ves and the others did their best to show respect.
Clearly, Leon and the other Ylvainans knew that it was difficult to convert outsiders to their faith. While it would be nice if they could convert the Brighters to their beliefs, it wasn't the end of everything if they failed.
While Prophet Ylvaine expanded his cult aggressively during his lifetime, he never expressed any insistence of converting every human or alien to the Ylvainan Faith. If it was the opposite, then the Ylvainans wouldn't have isolated themselves in their own state for so long!
In the perspective of the locals, everyone was an Ylvainan! They just didn't know it yet! This was because when the Time of Ascension finally came, everyone would be elevated to gods without exception, even those who never came in touch with the Ylvainan Faith!
