Obviously, Strange doesn't know the full story. But he's getting little hints of it here and there. The way Lavellan stresses the realness of her god, the way this conversation's hanging around this one point, it's becoming more and more apparent that she's got some hang-ups with regards to religion.

"They should know, I'll grant you that," Strange admits. "But how could one explain this? In my six months at the carnival, I've seen so many unbelievable things, things that I know people in my England would dismiss as the ravings of a madman. How do you expect one to accept the truth about multiple gods if they still have trouble grasping the idea of multiple worlds?"
