God s are mentioned. In the Kane Chronicles Anubis mentions that people believe they go where they choose to go. The afterlife is the same physical location, but people in there assume they are in heaven if they pass the heart demon. In the first Lightning Thief book this was the same; the people filing into Hades perceive that they are in the afterlife of their belief, but as the demigods see in reality, it’s just an illusion. They are judged by Minos, Rhadamanthys, & Aiakos no matter what, but they think they are judged by Allah, or or the Christian god, or whatever they believe. This is a recurring theme throughout Riordan’s books; mortals see what they want to see, usually via the Mist or the Kane Chronicles equivalent, but reality is the same always, & it does not care what mortals think, mortals simply process reality in the way they think the world works. This is not to say, that god isn’t real, this is just what Riordan has written in his books.
