I finally decided to go through Vorago's dialogue myself entirely. Never does he say anywhere that he is a member of the godless, only that he is a protector of Gielinor's anima. That being said, he'd protect it against anyone, god or mortal(s) that would harm it, like what Zamorak did to Forinthry. Whereas the godless, well, concern themselves with godlessness. The Scopulus on Tuska's back does indeed state that Vorago disagrees with the god philosophies, but only because of the "agendas" that the gods impose on them. Gods bring war, gods make mortals war, and war often damages the anima mundi. Gods are a part of the problem for Gielinor, and often where the problem starts for the anima, but a group of mortals without a god, but still acting with a common purpose, could pose a threat as well. Say if the godless decided to do something that damaged the anima mundi of Gielinor, a dangerous and radical plan cooked up to kill a god; Vorago would be obliged to stop them, even though they'd be killing a god, they'd still be hurting what Vorago has a duty to protect. Although Vorago may be a representative for the anima mundi, and to a lesser extent the godless now, it could very well have the chance to change in the future. All it takes is one dangerous person with a philosophy behind them, be they god or not, who has a following to cause trouble.

There is also the matter of the elder gods. As the elder gods do not view mortal life as important, more like ants, the godless would likely want to do away with them, or convince them to let mortals live. That would be true godlessness right there, whereas I do not believe we have any inkling in on how Vorago would react to the elders. Would he be like the TokHaar and accept that the destruction of Gielinor as they emerge, and the rebuilding of the universe is necessary? Or would he attempt to convince/destroy the elders if he had the chance? We do not know.

Also, little bit of side lore; Vorago said the living rock creatures and he are not the same, but they are "(his) wards", pointing towards some sort of relation. Perhaps they are shards that he put there or something for some purpose, to "protect the deep earth" maybe, dunno.
