There are two pantheons:
Golden - Aligned with higher functions of society; what makes people people. More complex ideas with their own moral failings. For example, murder
Ichor - Embracing the uncontrollable and the innate. For example, weather, rage, lust
Pretty much everyone believes in the gods, as they empirically exist. A small handful are atheists, but they're considered conspiracy theorists--flat earthers in the real world are a good equivalent.
The gods usually interact with mortals through agents called Guides. Rarely, they will make an appearance themselves, taking whatever form they want to at the time, e.g. a bird. Direct communication with mortals is not common and usually requires some fucked up summoning.
