In response to "george r. r. martin (and his beard) explain the many religions of Game of Thrones -- (link)" by tRuMaN, (not a knock off version)

Nice. I'm on the second book, and just noticed his first mention of priests and religion. I'd already noticed the absence of such.

No churches? No priests? Lots of talk about these Gods and those Gods, but not much about any organization around them.

There should have been a fair amount of talk in book 1 about the 7 - TWuG Apr 24, 12:33 5
- I guess I misspoke. I meant like organized religion. - Ser Vermyn Apr 24, 12:45 2
  - Oh, the Seven have that. You'll see more of the Church and its power in later books. - TWuG Apr 24, 12:50 1
    - The Ironborn have priests. Aeron Greyjoy is one. -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 12:56
- exactly and up north they don't have churches, they have the god's woods - decline Apr 24, 12:35 1
  - Yep. And the influence and importance of religion picks up as the story goes on. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 12:39
i havent even been able to make it through the first book yet. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 24, 12:30 2
- I compared it to Red Storm Rising recently. So many characters and subplots, that if you don't read it every day, it gets hard to remember everything - Ser Vermyn Apr 24, 12:47
- there is a reason I only read the first one. (I figured I'll let HBO show me the rest) -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 12:35
