I've got a fantasy world made up of three nations. One nation is atheistic/agnostic (depending on the individual). The second one has pluriform monotheism. The third is polytheistic, with an incarnational system that I stole straight from Christianity. Some of the other stories feature monolatrism (i.e. henotheism) and ancestor veneration.
How the heck do I market a series like this? (By "market," I mean to readers - I self-publish.) I want to reach the readers who are interested in religious fantasy, but I don't know how to market a series featuring paganism to a Christian audience; nor do I know how to market a series featuring paganism that draws quite obviously on Christian imagery to a pagan audience. There's probably no hope, I suppose, of drawing in the atheistic crowd, even though the freedom to not believe plays an important role in one of the novels.
Oh, and did I mention that another of my series features reincarnation?
