Wait a minute!  Just to be picky about this.  From what you have  said
here  I'll  go  along  with  the  idea that these people believed in a
supreme being, but I saw very little to indicate that this being was a
Christian god.

And even if they did (another  nit  to  pick),  there  is  nothing  to
indicate that they thought everyone should believe as them.
