This is a really good question! It’s something I’ve wondered about, too. Gods are a big part of the world, and Luna is respected for communicating with them, but nobody really talks about them much, besides apparently reading magazines about them. 

One possibility is that it’s their sheer obvious physical existence that makes our idea of a religion not apply so much. It makes me think of something Robert Jordan said about religion in the world of the Wheel of Time; that the main focus of real world religion is affirmation in something you can’t see, so in a world where people can definitely provably throw fireballs and where you can go and see a giant hole in a mountain belching evil, those affirmations aren’t really a thing you need. 

It’s a interesting aspect of Eos, too; gods are just a fact of life. Though they’ve been sleeping for thousands of years, nobody seems that shocked by them waking up. Summoning Leviathan to parley is something Claudia Claustra thinks of in terms of logistics. Witnessing Titan rise up is something the bros don’t react to with any cosmic fear or awe: they react to it like you would to an impressively dangerous natural phenomenon that you’ve heard of but never seen. More like watching a volcano erupt than seeing Jesus. They’re more like natural disasters than anything, which is very Shinto, and is an interesting contrast when another major player in the story is Christ But A Dick About It.
