While waiting for a response I came up with the following option for Nick if he prefers not to devise his own at this time. Some broad brushstrokes here, but I like the idea that it could lead to a tie-in with Mutant Future at some point in the future.

Skapeses - (skāpˌsēz) “The Anti-Shepherd”
Appearing as a wandering, diseased, or malnourished goat shepherd, Skapeses moves back and forth between a possible future

Skapeses and his followers sow confusion, doubt, and chaos. To amuse himself, he will often sell his goats to shepherds and farmers, or to travelers on the road as sources of food. These goats will always try to first secretly kill and eat other livestock and eventually move on to do the same to their human or demi-human keepers. If they accomplish this, they’ll then call upon Skapeses for their return via Teleportation.
Clerics who choose his worship are expected to follow the example of Skapeses’ spidergoats - Their ultimate goal should be to gain the trust of a community (especially a religious one) and subvert it in every way, eventually murdering the leaders and ideally making it look like the work of someone else.

Great idea re: waiting till 2nd lvl to pick god so as to have time to learn about world.
I had a similar clerical religion: The Temple of Divine Sight. Only the Upper Echelon of the temple was allowed to know the name of the deity! All of the lower leveled priests had to refer to He Who Has No Name. I kind of liked the concept that you had to prove your worth before the nature of the deity was revealed. (Never really figured out what that "nature" was though. "He" could've been a giant platypus or something...)
