[Black Panther] If M'Baku had won the challenge, would he have become Black Panther despite not worshipping the Panther God?

They would have converted to worship Gehkre (the Gorilla god) and torn down the various artifices of Bast (the Panther god) as part of dismantling many of the modern technological amenities of Wakanda.  M'Baku would have consumed the Heart Shaped Herb but would likely have taken on the mantle of the White Gorilla rather than Black Panther.  It's unclear whether his spiritual journey would have taken him to meet Bast so he could reject her in person or if he would have met Gehkre instead.  Either way it would have meant the end of the dominance of the Panther God in Wakanda.

Had M'Baku won, it would have indicated the failure of the Panther God and her disciples, showing that they had lost the mandate to lead.  Honestly, it would have been a shit show as the Mountain Tribe forcefully converted the other tribes probably leading to a series of revolts and efforts to overturn their rule.  We likely would have seen a similar civil war just with different groups acting as the rebels.
