"I'm sure. Besides, you wouldn't have to learn about the Gods when you could just...meet them." He didn't show it, but Gideon was actually quite jealous of Seren in that moment as he considered her life in proximity to the Gods, how she could ask her mother any theological question in her mind and be much likely to receive an answer than anyone else. Was the child even aware of how lucky she was? "Have you learnt all there is to learn, now, do you think?"
Sitting down as well, her next question made him pause; Gideon leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, hands clasped. "Well...we tell them that the Voice, no matter what they might hear, is not a real Goddess. Just someone claiming she is. That she, and her followers the 'Ascended', are very dangerous. That the Gods will one day make them pay." The basics; more in depth details on their evils and plans came as the children grew older and more chance of them leaving Stormbreak's walls and meeting an Ascended appeared.
"As for the Abandoned..." He sighed, pushing a hand up through his hair; this was the part of the sermons he was the least sure of. "We tell them that the Gods have abandoned these people. That we may not know why, but that we have to respect the decision, and so they are not allowed in Stormbreak."

GIDEON
You claim to be virtuous, but you're a liar
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
