There are some very decent options in there, especially the longbow.
As for the deity's favored weapon, lets look at these by alignment the usual PC will be (non-evil):
Iomedae: longsword, good melee option
Erastil: longbow, already have it, great ranged option
Torag: warhammer, good melee option
Shelyn: glaive, good melee/reach option
Sarenrae: scimitar, great melee option, high crit range
Cayden Cailean: rapier, good melee, high crit
Desna: starknife, sub-par option for melee and range
Irori: unarmed strike, bad because you're not a monk
Abadar: light crossbow, already have it, decent range option
Nethys: quaterstaff, already have it, decent melee option, free
Gozreh: trident, good melee option
Pharasma: dagger, bad melee and range option
Gorum: greatsword, "best" melee option
Calistria: whip, bad melee/reach weapon
First, there are 3 lawful good deities:
One of them you already get the longbow. The Other two? Boring dieties substandardly boring RP domains.
Longsword is a good standard weapon, but out of the 9 deities only Imo gets it, lame.
Glaive, oh yea, the inquisitor of beauty. Lame.
Sarenrae, the only decent deity in the whole pantheon that doesnt require you to act like a paladin, without paladin power. I don't want to make every divine character, ever, always worship sarenrae. Out of all of them, the bonus weapon, domain powers and spells are all the best in sarenrae. rapier, starknife, lame.
punching- you said it already
light xbow you already get.
Q-staff you get.
Gozreh is pretty much limited to sea types, trident is an oddball weapon.
Dagger you already get
Greatsword, yea but Gorum, he's pretty much an evil god, really.
Calistria, whip again, lame.
A... I made an Inquisitor of Cayden who used a rapier and he was an absolute beast!

Gorum is not pretty much an evil god. He's pretty much a neutral god, so you can be any alignment on that axis. If you don't like the battle-loving flavor that's your truck, but your reasoning that "he's evil" is flawed.
Gozreh is not limited to sea types, his purview covers all sorts of nature focus folks.
As for your opinions on what's "lame," that's your problem. Personally I like Iomedae and Shelyn, and there is nothing mechanically wrong with the rapier, so I'm not sure what you want. If you're unhappy with the weapon selection, as has been said, martial weapon proficiency is a thing.
You mean that was his problem. Five years ago.
