I was thinking about how it would be if Rhye's and Fall of Civilization for Civilization 5 was made and I had the idea religions should be assigned some beliefs when founded by the AI there.

So, if Civilization 5 religions were customized as their real life counterparts, what would their beliefs be? Which beliefs would you add? Please, be respectful and this thread is not meant to offend anybody.

PANTHEON BELIEFS:
Name Comment
Ancestor Worship As far as I know, this is common among the Romans and Eastern Asians.
Dance of the Aurora Not sure but I think it would be fitting for a Native American religion.
Desert Folklore This smells like Islam to me.
Earth Mother Many religions have had this, but not one of them is in this game.
Faith Healers Not sure, I think Christianity.
Fertility Rites No idea.
God of Craftsmen I think this is something from the Greek religion.
God of the Open Sky This looks like Judaism and Christianity to me.
God of the Sea Could be anyone, especially the Greek religion (Poseidon), but it is not an in-game religion.
God of War Greek (To Telos Arhizi! To Telos Arhizi! To Telos Arhizi! To Telos Arhizi Tora!)
Goddess of Festivals No idea.
Goddess of Love No idea.
Goddess of Protection No idea.
Goddess of the Hunt Artemisa from the Greek mythology?
God-King Many cultures around the world had this, but it makes me think of Egyptians and Japanese.
Messenger of the Gods Wasn't this Hermes?
Monument to the Gods Could be anyone.
One with Nature Not sure, Native American I guess.
Oral Tradition Could be anyone.
Religious Idols Could be almost anyone, especially Hinduism and Egyptian religion, but definitely not Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.
