Most sailors mythology and tales about deities of the Sea IRL (Posideon etc) reflect a largely 'capricious, dangerous, unpredictable' vibe.An alignment of CE for a sea goddess seems pretty apt.That said, I can see CG churches of Uberlee easily enough. Those churches repudiate the 'tying up human sacrifices and tossing them into the ocean to drown' rituals, and more destructive aspects of the CE branch of the church, and focus on the Sea as a giver of life (commerce, sustenance etc) and a tool for exploration and the unknown.They interpret the scriptures/ will of the deity/ dogma differently to the Evil members.I can see LE members (plus clergy and indeed whole factions) of LG Torms faith, just as I can see Good aligned members and clergy of CE Talos' faith as well.Illmater was Good aligned, and he had Evil clergy and followers who focussed on the torture/ mutilation/ flagellation aspect of the deity. They recieved spells just fine, and only found out how wrong their interpretation of Illmaters dogma was when Kelemvor turned them into wallpaper as being 'False' on their death.</blockquote>
