Your mileage may vary, but to me there wouldn't be a Disney Pantheon. "Disney Co" would be a god in the Corporate Pantheon. You think each of the disney princesses are not individually worshipped as gods?

Other interesting concepts to explore... what about fictional pantheons? For example, in the AP, Yves was from the Cthulhu pantheon. Is that because it always existed anyway, or because of the popularity of the Mythos in the modern day?
Could someone make a demigod of, say, the Middle-earth pantheon (you mean... I'm the son of Sauron?)? Or of Crom (battle pleases you, Crom!)?
Or does it have to be a religion that was actually practiced at some point? ("Religion" being a relative term, of course, given the Science pantheon...)

I would say that fictional pantheons don't have any gods but some fictional pantheons are real. In the AP The Cthulhu mythos is real because Lovecraft was inspired by the old gods to write his stories. So I'd let all fictional pantheons be accessible for players but not real unless that or I choose one as the BBEG. But with exceptions for fictional pantheons that people don't know are fictional, example Santa Clause.

Someone has to make a demigod of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You think each of the disney princesses are not individually worshipped as gods? Or how about this? The spindle of the Disney demigods is an employee at one of the parks. The demigods drawn to the spindle go "undercover" as character cast members. See Snow White and Cinderella over there? Yeah... that's really them... Playing themselves to protect their spindle.

So when are you running this game and can I play Dumbo?

So musing on a Corporate Pantheon. What if corporations are run by existing gods using the power of marketing to encourage people to value their ideals. If you are a god of creation and your symple is a fruit or something. You hatch a plan. Have a demigod named Steve, send him over to xerox, then boom people are worshiping apples all of a sudden.
