I will respond with an eager but somewhat cautious "yes". Garcani religion, like Germanic paganism, is not codified, and so different interpretations of the gods and gods themselves could be worshipped by different tribes and cultures. So I'd be eager to hear your idea.

Pro: Communism, secularism, democracy, communalism, unions, mutual respect of people as humans, science.
Anti: Capitalism, theism's stranglehold on society, dictatorship, enforced respect (SJWs, anti-blasphemy laws etc.), creationism.
I will respect you. If your ideas are stupid, I won't respect those, and don't ask me to.
Fairly poor socialist country, recently revolted against a monarchistic state and with an economy rising slowly.
I am a fan of classical, experimental and indie music.
Will eat Brussels Sprouts, but only raw ones. I cannot abide cooked ones.

Nothing outrageous, but I was thinking a cult built on worshiped a syncretized version of perhaps Cynden and a OC foreign deity with a similar yet belligerent role. (no place specifically, just a god who’s cult followed trade routes). Think of some thing like the Cult of Mithras or the times Romans syncretized their gods with native ones, but of course far less developed as we’re dealing with basically Anglo-Saxons.

Does this sound at all acceptable?

I like that. I do. Alright. As I say, a tentative yes. I'd recommend not making a Joti settlement. Either Sassani or Acli, more than likely.
