The truth is going to be revealed after its too late and the church is firmly rooted. This could even be the start of a new holy war; I like it a lot.

Whups. Yes CSH not IHH...
Interesting point on Kriesha. Although she may come later as the nobles learn to enjoy the use of power more...
But is it truly cruelty if that is all a peasant understands? Surely to leave the poor fools ignorant of their place in the world, lost in a mist of uncertainty without clear direction from their betters that would be the true cruelty?
I agree that most people nominally following Haelyn / Cuiraecen may not understand why their more pragmatic view of the world and clear approach to problem solving (kill/maim/slay rather than talk/talk/talk) is deemed so wrong by the priests of Haelyn/C - they can pretty the place up after they've fixed it after all...
It is also quite possible that most people relate to the named deities via various saints, etc and not directly. In which case the fact that they are following Belinik may be completely concealed from them - they are following the precepts of St. Anselm, Hammer of the Basarji, rather than some more 'traditional' saint. The fact that priests of Haelyn and Cuiraecen in the CSH don't venerate Anselm is simply politics
