B77 under power investiture begins with: "A deity – god, demon lord, great
spirit, cosmic power, etc. – has empowered you.." and continues with things like "You may only learn clerical spells from a fixed list set by your deity, who
may even dictate which specific spells you learn." and so on indicating clearly that it is single deity or similar being.

The cleric description in DF1:6 has things like "...your god grants you... " and nothing indicating change from standard. And DF 7 talks in length about how different deities have separate followers and such...
