Easy to solve:

The delta mutation makes them able to function as a conduit for a higher power.
It does not provide the power, just lets them make use of it.


If you had an idea for a power source other than the catholic version of God, you
could use that instead.  You could channel the power of the voodoo loa,  be an
avatar of Thor, whatever.  So long as it didn't look like you were choosing a
power source to try and get around the restrictions on the package ("My god
advocates senseless killing!  Honest!")

Oh yeah, one more thing.  Religious rivalry is bad enough already.  It would be
even worse between deltas his the covenant package.
