That's on me. I did admittedly rush through some parts of the thread.
On the subject of the Aspects;
Everyone eventually chooses one or two 'main' Aspects, which is the god that they most identify with, and pray to the most frequently.
Generally they'll choose something related to their profession. Working class people tend to go with either Marius or Dario. Bards will generally go with Shayla or Gerrus. Soldiers will of course go with Gaius or Marius. A city-guard will choose Arrus or Dario. Merchants choose Camilla or Cassius. Housewives go with Aelia. However, these are not set in stone.

Also, it's a bit different with Nobles. Nobles have a patron god which their houses have always worshiped, so they are expected to adopt that god as their main one, but they may also take on a secondary god that is more suited to their own strengths.
---
If you're going with a priest character, then what basically happens is after you completed your basic education and choose to stay, they give you a test, and that test determines which Aspect you are best suited to. That is basically your 'major' - most of your religious studies are centered around that god.
Also, it is illegal to worship the Aspects of Evil. Acknowledging their existence is fine, but praising them or serving them is not.
---
And in regards to death, there are basically four afterlives. A Chaos afterlife, an Order afterlife, a Good afterlife, and an Evil afterlife.
Chaos - Basically a massive celebration, with feasting and drinking. Worshipers of Gaius get to fight each other in eternal battle, and worshipers of Gerrus get to play music or produce works of art to decorate the hall.
Order - Also has lots of feasting, but a lot more subdued. There is also a massive library which basically contains every piece of knowledge. Also, worshipers of Camilla are permitted to briefly cross into the Chaos or Good afterlives to visit family members.
