This list will probably be updated

Also remember that you do not need an altar to worship any deity so if you don't have the space, the money or even if it's not safe you should absolutely not feel pressured to make one and if you really want to have one there's still plenty of way for you to do it discreetly (such as digital altars or tabloid ones). The gods understand don't worry <3
