My artistic creation is a homebrew setting without such a boring, vanilla, pantheon of gods

I find the many pantheons of the pathfinder universe to be pretty diverse and well thought out personally. Much more dynamic and interesting than the forgotten realms pantheon.

I'm personally just not a fan of the reskinned Greek Pantheon approach to deities in fantasy. It leaves little room for the sort of stories about religion that I find interesting. I much prefer an Ebberon style approach where religion is unconfirmed and ambiguous. It allows for things like other structures of religion beyond Greek-style polytheism, such as monotheism, animism, dualism, etc.
