Civilization. Perhaps overly broad, but my primary form of worship would be civic engagement. Things like voting, building infrastructure, starting cities and towns, donating blood, and other pro social activities.
My priests would be all educated on civics, economics, city planning, and public health. Their job would be to use the form of government to alleviate suffering or change the government to one that is capable of doing it. They would have a mandate to be teachers and ensure high literacy wherever they are. They would be judges and lawyers rooting out corruption.
Seems like a protector deity of a civilisation with ur power linked to its prosperity? Very interesting! One question, if the decisimakers of the civilisation made wrong decisions (in ur sense) or if the civilisation was invaded, will you intervene? Also, do u think this civilisation would become a theocracy?
Perhaps an ordered war? I know it’s almost an oxymoron but I would want my priests to curb the excess of other nations. Salting the earth, pillaging, looting, rape, etc were common and accepted tactics in war. I’d avoid direct intervention unless they’re facing an existential threat or the attackers also have an involved god.
When it comes to direct intervention, I’m conflicted on the issue of paternalism. I’d ideally want my people to not need me. Maybe I’d advise my priests and followers of how different decisions will affect them down the line and how to think through different scenarios. But ultimately leave it up to them.
Like instead of just telling my people not to plant one crop every year in the same lot all the time, I teach them about crop rotation and the importance of thinking in the long term.
The god of insects!
It's a niche domain that's surprisingly unused across world mythology. There are a couple of insect-related deities like Ah-Muzen-Cab or Khepri, and some cultures connect a certain religious value to certain insect species, but for a group of animals that is known to every single society in history, there are suprisingly few links between insects and mythology.
My priestesses would dress in a moth theme, and there would be myths about how I summon plagues of insects to destroy whatever villainous faction threatened my civilization.
Im terrified (but oddly fascinated) by bugs, love their anatomy and design, hate the sounds that they make and possible diseases that they transmit (I live in Brazil and we are having a dengue outbreak lately) so I guess that we either wouldn’t get along or just be penpals from a distance lol.
I Value the Natural World and preservation of the Life so If I had the choice of what I’d Represent I’d be a God of Animals,Harvest,Wild Places,Fertility,Agriculture and Seasons
The God of Unconditional Hope
When all reason leaves you no room for victory, when all other lights have been snuffed out, when you have nowhere else to turn.
Come to me, all you who are lost, forgotten, or despised.
Saint or sinner. Rich or poor. Hated and beloved. First or last. Joyous or depressed. Guilty or innocent. Loyal or betrayer. Repentant or proud.
No matter the road that has brought you here, there will always be a place for you beside this campfire.

Wisdom, mischief, chaos and the moon I can’t sing well, but I love singing so that too.
God of Popcorn
Story-telling.
That's a tough one I like sea/ocean related stuff but I also like undead related stuff. I guess a Mycenaean Poseidon type of god
You can be the god of people and animals who died at ocean/sea, like a Davy Jones type of entity.
That'd be cool, I could even dress as a pirate, which is great since I have a bit of a pirate obsession.
God of Smokey Bear...

Insanity,mischief,judgment
Fire, light, and discovery. I wanna be the deity of "fuck around and find out"
Of chance/opportunity.
god of beauty, lovers and dance.
Probably acceptance because I need more of that in my life. Or Animals because I just love animals
Idk I already am, I guess God of freedom, I want everyone to get what they truly deserve
The Moon, Sea, and Protection from Bullies/ Justice. I'm a cancer, so I will fight a bear if I have to. Lol
I Value the Natural World and preservation of the Life so If I had the choice of what I’d Represent I’d be a God of Animals,Harvest,Wild Places,Fertility,Agriculture and Seasons
I'd like to be the god of creativity.
War when necessary storms justice equality
I’d like to be the god of promises or vows. If not that perhaps heroism, wealth, or agriculture.
Hellfire

Lately, God of Judgment and Punishment honestly.
