A Knight losing their religion

Rules:
Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply: In every row, column and in every 3x3 box the digits from 1 to 9 have to appear exactly once. Also there is an anti-knight constraint, i.e. cells seperated by a knight’s move in chess cannot have the same digit. Additionally there are 10 clues in the puzzle of which there is exactly one of each:- The digit in the grey circle (in box one) has to be odd.
- The digit in the cell with four ordering symbols has to be strictly greater than any orthogonally adjacent cells.
- Digits along the thermometer have to increase starting from the bulb end.
- Cells connected by an X sum to 10.
- Digits along the arrow must sum to the cell circled before the arrow.
- Digits in the killer cage must sum to the value indicated in its upper left corner.
- Digits along the diagonal pointed at by the little killer clue outside the grid must sum to the value indicated there.
- Cells connected by a V sum to 5.
- Digits along the grey palindrome line can be read the same forwards as backwards.
- Cells connected by a black dot are in a relation 1-to-2 (i.e. one is double the other).

Very nice break in, but later it got harder for me. My scanning is just not good enough.
But it was very enjoyable!
Thanks, whiterock!

i was in full kramnik mode, until i realized i had overlooked something glaringly obvious.
IN FACT, this puzzle is quite easy, and flows very smoothly.

Quickly went through the clues then got stuck on the triple disambiguation. I swore a few times but didn’t lose my marbles and got to the end game. The fact that the triple had a 3 is a possible reason for the pun but that is a guess rather than judgement. Nice puzzle.
