Okay, you've got me. I was a charter subscriber until the first couple issues of "Legacy of Fire" when I started DMing "Crimson Throne" and thought I'd be good on campaign material for as long as I'd be playing--having subscribed to the previous mags at the tail end of "Shackled City"--but of all things, it's the support articles that've brought me back as a subscriber. (And, yes, the unique AP design of "Kingmaker" has me intrigued, too.)
In particular, I love the stuff on the gods of Golarion. Fantasy RPG mythologies are one of my favorite parts of the hobby.
After recently picking up "Gods and Magic" and seeing a couple of the minor deities noted in it given more detail in "Guide to the River Kingdoms" I'm wondering a couple things:
1) Is there a list of the Pathfinder products, AP or otherwise, that tells where each of the gods have gotten an extended treatment?
2) When Paizo plans products, especially the APs, do y'all consider which gods have not yet been detailed, and then lean the products towards including them?
3) Any plans for an expanded "Gods and Magic"-esqe book that collects these articles once the core pantheon has been thoroughly expored, perhaps with new material connecting their shared mythology? I noted "Book of the Righteous" as my favorite 3E 3rd party product in the stickied thread Jason started, and noticed I wasn't alone.

From previous posts, I've culled the following;
Rise of the Runelords
Desna (RotR 2)
Lamashtu (RotR 5)Curse of the Crimson Throne
Abadar (CotCT 8)
Zon-Kuthon (CotCT 11)Second Darkness
Calistria (SD 17)
Cayden Cailean (SD 14)Legacy of Fire
Rovagug (LoF 23)
Sarenrae (LoF 20)Council of Thieves
Iomedae (CoT 26)
Asmodeus (CoT 29)Kingmaker (upcoming)
Erastil (Km 32)
Gorum (probably Km 35)
The two deities that'll have writeups during Serpent's Skull are Gozreh (38) and Nethys (41).

See above post. Thanks, Set!
2) When Paizo plans products, especially the APs, do y'all consider which gods have not yet been detailed, and then lean the products towards including them?
To a certain extent, yes. The two gods we pick for an AP do have an influence on the Adventure Path and vice-versa; the Adventure Path itself often helps us narrow the choice down to a specific pair of deities.
3) Any plans for an expanded "Gods and Magic"-esqe book that collects these articles once the core pantheon has been thoroughly expored, perhaps with new material connecting their shared mythology? I noted "Book of the Righteous" as my favorite 3E 3rd party product in the stickied thread Jason started, and noticed I wasn't alone.
That'd be a pretty nifty book, but there are no plans for something like that yet. Especially since we're still about 2 years away from finishing out the series of articles in Pathfinder.

Thanks so much for the quick and thorough responses!
I guess I hadn't noticed that there were two "main gods" per AP until you noted that, James. So, with Kingmaker being the 6th AP, that'll be 12 gods, so we're over half-way there already. Would love to see a collected volume, oh, a handful of years from now. Keep rockin' in the meantime.
Thank you again.
Bring on Pathfinder #41!Hehe, you want to read about yourself?
He's going to say, "Yes, I only read the articles," when we know that Nethys just wants to stare at those juicy pics of Nethys.

Thereby taking self-love to a whole new level.
