Personally, I didn't view the belief in the existence of a Thirteenth tribe as being dependent on religious underpinnings.

Good point. I would agree that believing that there's a 13th tribe doesn't require faith in any deity or deities. But if it's seen as a document of doubtful provenance, lumped in with various other religous/mythological scribblings, that suddenly proves true, it would likely trigger the question, what else in this stuff is worth a second look? Again, I think you have some good opportunity for drama here.
