   No they are not, The people of the 12 Colonies of Kobol (they are not   
   a united people yet I feel) worship the Olympic gods and goddesses   
   that later will be known to the Greeks and Romans on Earth. The Lords   
   of Kobol were the prophets that lead humanity from Kobol to the 13   
   Colonies (including the original Earth). Think of them as 12 Moses or   
   Abrahams or more directly those who led the 12 tribes of Israelites.   
   They are revered but not worshipped.

   No, they only worship the "one true God", no one else. The Lords of   
   Kobol doesn't enter into it at all.
