Diety favored weapon, can not find rules on it.

Some were I have gotten the idea that if you use your deities favored weapon you get a +1 bonus, is this true?

No. They only become proficient in it.

Clerics are proficient with all simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields). Clerics are also proficient with the favored weapon of their deity.

It might come from the old 3.5 rule set. If you played a cleric with the war domain, you got free weapon proficiency and focus with that deity's favored weapon if you took that domain. This was replaced with the current war domain and all clerics are automatically proficient with their deity's weapon but they don't have weapon focus automatically.

so only clerics? deity favored weapon dose not mean anything for any other class?

Sadly no. It's flavorful for a follower of that deity to use a favored weapon but unless you take feats for it, you get no special benefit for doing so. No other class gets free proficiency with it either unless it's a default option for that class. For example, a ranger who follows Calistria doesn't get whip proficiency for free but a bard still would because the class has whip proficiency by default.

Inquisitors too. They're the other class associated with a deity.

There's also a set of feats that's basically set up for a multi-classing monk/cleric, where you treat your deities favored weapon as a monk weapon for your Flurry of Blows. I'm not sure if that helps, but I thought I'd throw this little tidbit out there.

As Cheapy says, Inquisitors, too. And all it mostly does is give Clerics and Inquisitors proficiency with that weapon. Really, they're mostly flavor (and often very cool flavor if you read up on the Gods and find out why they're associated with the deities they are).
