Old Gods: To avoid contention, the gods of the main monotheistic religions (ie. God, Jesus, Allah) are out of bounds. Any other deities or mythic figures (such as leprechauns, djinn, and so on) are fair game. As most Roman gods are reinterpretations of Greek gods, for the purposes of this game the Greco-Roman pantheons are one and the same. Although you're hardly expected to be an expert, you are expected to do some background research on your chosen god. There are a bunch of good web references in the resources section.

New Gods: In addition to the ancient religions, New Gods are very much welcome. These are essentially the physical embodiments of new innovations (like technology), new fads and modern consumer culture, and all the things Americans "worship", rely on or put their faith in now. Computers, television, radio, telecommunications, the internet, cars, planes, highways, guns, cigarettes, drugs, shopping malls, corporations, fast food, Big Oil - the list goes on. They tend not to embody some of the sweeping concepts ruled over by the gods of old, like music or wealth, but may well encompass new expressions of those things - like the music industry or rock 'n roll in the case of music, or capitalism, Wall Street or banking in the realm of wealth.

Mortals: Less impressive than the gods, perhaps, but nonetheless vital to their worship, mortal characters can also make an interesting addition to the game.
