There would be the church of the natural realists with lots of splinter sects of other poet religions, but everyone would worship the written word. I think it would be a nice, but violent, society.

Their religion teaches that they are on one plane of reality, with two layers below (Calvino, then below that all the stories within the novel on an "equal" plane) and infinite above. They believe that life is caused by an angel in the next higher plane "reading" the story of their life.
Reading and writing will obviously be highly valued as holy activities.
