had a god of chaos (pretty much in every fantasy setting) who's worshippers have 1 to 6 chance to cast a random spell when they attempt a spellcasting check.

Honestly? The top end of the Mythos deities are there in some respect: Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, and Shub-Niggurath are essentially certain. Since they're decently distant more often than not, they don't necessarily lens the setting too much. Since they're powerful, weird, and primal they make great touchstones for aberrations, Warlocks, and (in the case of Shub-Niggurath) Druids.

If more Mythos jokers, such as Cthulhu, Hastur, or Yig show their faces, it might be a sign I'm doing something with the lot of them in specific.

A goddess of life and god of death, both rulers over time.
The goddess makes sure time flows normally and that the eternal exchange of life-force inside time continues, as well as uses free-moving life energy to make new creatures, and that people that accidentally or deliberately end up outside of time go back.
The god of death stands and watches and metes out the balance of the pantheon within the realm, also helping enforce things like physics from time to time. He will be there to put out the last light of the age, and record it forever, as his wife uses the ashes to make a new flame.

Toltiir - Elder God of Mischief, previously chaos. Believed by many to be the ultimate source of the Deck of Many Things among various other sources of chaos. Frequently takes the form of a black cat or something else fairly common. Sticks his nose into people's universes, stirs up some chaos, mainly for the laughs.

Do you put them in every setting because you like the religion, or because the pope is a little girl?

All my settings either have the Death of the Endless or the Discworld one. Sometimes both. Not necessarily as the god/godess of Death, but they're there, somewhere.

Primordial Chaos (splits)
Sky Father
Earth Mother
(their children)

That's my basic theogony. All the rest depends on the setting, like if there's a dominant empire there's gonna be a sun incarnate emperor, or if there's a cult of ancestors I'm gonna insert divinities as saints/paragons ascended.

The interfaith, a union of cults and minor deities that cover the seven divine pursuits of "mankind." Basically a rainbow striped cathedral with strange minor deities the players can make and intense bureaucracy.

There's a goddess in a setting I'm looking to publish whose domain covers various aspects of civilization. One of her aspects is the patron of beaureaucrats and functionaries and represents the more apathetic sort of tyranny.

I like to allude to her in other games I run.
