[Captain Mayday]

Currently religion is limited to:
Megabeasts
Power beings
Gods
Forces of Nature.

This is fairly wide in scope, but it's missing Leader Worship (leader is considered to be the embodiment of a god, or a god in their own right), and Ancestor worship (which would be kind of close to Forces of Nature).

Leader Worship's real world example would be Ancient Egypt (there are others, this is just the best known case).
--- Variations on this:
------Leaders are considered to be embodiment of specific, or various, members of Pantheon.
------All leaders enter the pantheon after death. Their importance is measured on how impressive they were during life. All children of the divine bloodline are considered to be a subcaste, and are therefore candidates for the throne. If all members of the subcaste are killed, there are no new gods.

Ancestor Worship is common in many areas of the world.
