this isn't DA2 related specifically, just dragon age in general, so if it's in the wrong place, my bad.
anyway, on to my question. The Old Gods, that get found and turned into archdemons and all that fun-ness, are they the same as they Elven Gods? or is that a different 'pantheon' of gods?

In Dragon Age we don't even know if any gods really exist. I suspect the Elves don't believe that their gods are Dragons. The Tevinter worshipped Dragons, and the Chantry claims those became Archdemons. But there is no proof for any opinion or belief. People speculate rather wildly here though, so have fun

We don't really know that ANY Gods exists in DA at all. The Chantry just makes up stories without any evidence

Completely different pantheon. If you want to know more, try the Dragon Age wiki

If you want to hear my crack pot theory, and I'm sure you don't. I suspect that the Old Gods are in fact the only figures of divinity that have ever been real in Thedas, unfortunately most of their worshipers turned away from them driving them both mad, and forcing them into hibernation. The Dark Spawn are the last vestiges of their worshipers twisted by the lost of their old gods, who mindless do whatever is in their power to return them to their former glory... while the arch demons just want to mess stuff up.

It's interesting to me that neither Morrigan nor, presumably, Flemeth, easily the most intelligent or at least well-informed characters in Origins, believe in the Maker or anything else the Chantry says. Both of them seem to have knowledge of the world that the other characters lack.

I don't think Flemeth ever said she does not believe that the Maker exists. Morrigan is rather young and there are chances Flemeth lied to her or at least didn't tell her everything she knows.

I don't think Flemeth ever said she does not believe that the Maker exists. Morrigan is rather young and there are chances Flemeth lied to her or at least didn't tell her everything she knows.
In fact, considering Flemeth was born and raised in Andraste's homeland... Where, the Cult of the Maker was practically uniform... It's more likely that Flemeth was/is a Makerian(?) if not part of the Andrastian reform movement of the Cult of the Maker. Rather than the extreme atheism of Morrigan.
Morrigan's disapproval of things seems to stem from a rebellion of everything her mother says. I'm reminded of her off handed comment about how, if you are a mage and respond with "this could have been you," she responds with that "mother always said that I should have pity for those [mages] less fortunate than" her... Though that's not proof of Flemeth being a follower of the Maker, it IS evidence of Morrigan's thought process of "If mother likes/thinks/says that, I will like/think/say the oposite."
So understanding that that's Morrigan's thought process in regards to Flemeth... It's not too big of a leap to think that Flemeth believes in the Maker. Or at least a supreme monotheistic-god-entity.
