I mean, I kinda get the idea of a patron deity, it is in Greek Myths with Jason and Hera, it is kinda related on how certain guilds and professions have patron saints, and some cultures toy with similar ideas on specific cases. Of course it is kind of a given with clerics -clerics of a philosophy notwithstanding- and recently with paladins. But how did it go from that to "Everybody and their dog must have a patron deity"? Is it a recent thing? Is it very old? Did it come from a setting like Forgotten Realms or was it always a "core" D&D thing?
