In
The Shadow over Innsmouth, Dagon worshipers turn into fish-people, eventually migrating out to sea. I wouldn't mind that so much .. Could be a nice change of scenery on your old days. Plus you could breathe under water. How cool is that?

They are real to them, but generally well within the constraints of what a mind can do to itself. That was my point, really. Everything about religion is within the constraints of what people can do to themselves or others. Wouldn't a real god be capable of more?
I sometimes find myself being judged or affected by religious people and it's nearly always in ways that I don't like. Still, I generally accept people's freedom to voice religious opinions about me or other things (claims and all) and of course I think people should accept my freedom to voice opinions too.
