What was the role of religion in Camelot? There are many references to the Old Religion, which I assume is paganism or druidism, but what is the new religion? And why is the Old Religion taboo? Simply because it incorporates magic?

It seems like the people of Camelot would have some sort of faith. Maybe the writers kept it vague because they didn't want to be preachy. But to not mention religion at all is odd. Did they believe kings to be their gods? Where did their moral code come from? If they believed there was no higher power and morals come from men, then an atheist kingdom is too interesting to have never explored.
