While a diplomacy or other charisma check might make more sense than the performance check, I wouldn't go with religion as these apparitions are very specifically NOT gods, and not figures of worship.
While they're not "gods" in the Western sense, apparitions are still very much figures of worship.
The animist is a class inspired by animistic religions such as Shinto and other stuff that i'm too dumb to know about. While thematically you can definitely spin it in other directions, the Animist is essentially a cleric, but for an animistic faith rather than a theistic one.
