Like the priests of the Church, the priests of War God Temple considered it as an organism that serves the God of War, Ares.
However, unlike the united Church that prays and serves only one Goddess, the War God Temple was a faction split from the Temple of War and Wisdom as the latter serves Athena.
As the Goddess of wisdom and war, Athena prefers strategies with minimum killing to win the battles. Despite being the goddess of war, Athena believed in peace. She believed in negotiations and when the fight between the two kingdoms emerged, she declared that the outcome will be decided by a death battle between the strongest warriors from each side.
So, a section of believers rose against the beliefs of the Temple as they believed that Athena can't represent the war. It was then, Ares' fame started to rose.
