I think it's very interesting that a nation that worships no Deity (to our knowledge) possesses a leader with the title, His Radiance. Which invokes very religious imagery. Looking back at the Romans we see a very similar title used for their leaders as well. Divi or Divi Filius. The Romans were also polytheistic and Divi meant Godly in relation to one of the Roman Gods (Mercury or Jupiter for example). So I would not at all be surprised if the Garleans actually had one or many Gods that they worshipped. Even possibly the Twelve. But it could also be that the reason Garleans aren't allowed to worship Gods is that would mean that they are putting their faith into something other than their Empire or more specifically Solus zos Galvus, His Radiance.
Also it was Theodric, the King of Ruin who outlawed the worship of Rhalgr in 1552. He instead promoted Nymeia, claiming that it was under her divine wisdom that he was meant to rule over Gyr Abania. I think when the Garleans took over they just imposed a blanket no deities rule instead of outlawing specific ones.
