D&D General Ideas for other Orcish religions/cultures that are alternatives to the Gruumshite religion

My first idea for the Animistic Orcs having their own Amazon Warrior Women serves as something to contrast to how the traditional Gruumshite Orcs have often been depicted. The spirits they deal with distrust the Gods especially the Gruumshite pantheon. In a few depictions Orcs were shown as being destructive, destroying forests and over-exploiting nature resources, so the Animistic Orcs stand for nature in contrast. As nature can be both cruel and kind, and so would the Animist Orcs. Various Barbarians subclasses like Totem Warrior, Berserker, Storm Herald, and Ancestral Warrior, along with some of the Ranger subclasses would cover their Warriors. While the men of their tribes would more likely be Druids, Bards, Sorcerers or Fey Warlocks.

The Roman Mystery Cults are interesting on the subject of a Syncretic Orc religion, as the Romans have adapted Gods from other places. Not counting their more mainstream mixture of Roman Gods with Greek Gods, they also adapted some Egyptian Gods like Isis having her own followers, or the Zoroastrian/Persian origins of Mithras and the Mithraic cult.

I definitely see the Syncretic Orcs more open to dealing with other races, and probably more common in the more Cosmopolitan nations. Though there might be a more changes on applying an Orcish guise to some Gods especially if they're from pantheons such as the Elven pantheon.
