Divine Fighting Technique Feat: Two books, same name, different prerequisites

[Blake's Tiger]

The Divine Fighting Technique Feat, introduced in Weaponmaster's Handbook, requires the same alignment as the patron deity. The Divine Anthology describes the Divine Fighting Technique as only requiring worship of the applicable deity. Which, if not both, requirements are correct?

My opinion is that it should be both "worship the appropriate deity" and "have identical alignment," but at the very least should be the Weaponmaster's Handbook version.

Go by the version of the book you are using. I was never a fan of the exact alignment restriction when every other deity related feat or class in the game requires you to be in one step of the deity, not an exact match.

[Chess Pwn]

Told by the lead guy for the book on Paizo side, both are correct, use the feat for the styles for the book they are found in.

[Franz Lunzer]

It depends on which fighting technique you are going for.

The (weapon) techniques from WmHb are open for all characters having the exact same alignment, but not explicitly worshiping the associated deity. You could have a character training in (weapon) divine fighting techniques of two deities of the same alignment. (The feat mentions, that it can be taken more than once, IIRC)

The (divine) techniques from DA are for characters worshipping specific deities, making it unlikely for a character to be trained in more than one (deity specific) divine fighting technique.

[This might be just my reading of the given rules]

It is convoluted and maybe the feat from WmHb shouldn't have been named the way it was, or DA should have had a small sidebar explaining things, but as both are from softcovers, we probably won't get an Errata for either books.

So, yeah, I'll click FAQ to get that mentioned somewhere official.
