The Domains section says that if you don't worship a specific deity, you still get to choose domains per GM approval. It says you still get two, but in theory you could convince your GM to give you three if you successfully argue that it's necessary for your character concept, that the three you choose don't form some sort of game-breaking combo, and that not worshipping a specific deity is a sufficient handicap to justify you getting an extra domain. Unless your GM's game world still involves the Wall of the Faithless, good luck with that last one.

yeah, but he could equally argue the same while worshipping a specific deity, as necessary for clerics in golarion. or argue to be granted 3 domains for his fighter. by 'in pathfinder' i take it that he's interested in what the pathfinder rules allow.
this sort of thing does sound like it's itching to have some sort of option for it in the Mythic Levels rules.
it does make me wonder what it would be like if clerics just gained ALL their deity's domains.
could be cool for a game world where the deities are alot more powerful/involved...
wizards and the like would really be upstarts crawling against the tide of the gods' power.

Divine Scion allows you to get a third domain, but you do need to PrC into it. Important caveat: you do not progress in your Cleric domain while leveling in the Divine Scion PrC or vice versa.

Domain Specialization (Su)
At 3rd level, a divine scion selects a domain granted by her deity—this domain becomes the divine scion’s chosen specialization in representing her deity. Although most divine scions pick domains that they’ve gained from other classes (such as cleric), they don’t have to do so. Every time a divine scion casts a domain spell from her specialized domain, she heals damage equal to twice the spell’s level.
In addition, each domain specialization grants a spell-like ability (which functions at a caster level equal to the divine scion’s total character level) and a permanent sacred bonus (or profane, if the divine scion is evil) on a single type of d20 roll.
This feature doesn't give a domain. It gives you abilities based off of a domain you already have, or one you didn't choose that your deity grants. You don't get domain powers, or domain spells. Just a bonus for casting the chosen domains spells and a spell-like ability.

You can't multiclass into inquisitor to get an extra domain - it says explicitely if you're cleric than your domain must be one of your cleric domains.
You can multiclass into sacred servant paladin, however - there is no restriction like in the cleric/inquisitor combination :-)
However can you start out as a inquisitor and then go into Cleric with new domains.

If the inquisitor has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as an inquisitor.
It doesn't care which comes first, one of the domains have to match.

You are correct. I've apparently been misreading the ability for a while. >.<

So you start in Inquisitor, enter Cleric with your free choice of Domains because it has no restriction, and then Inquisitor will now give you a new choice from the 2 Cleric Domains you chose?

No, you start in Inquisitor, enter Cleric and choose 1 domain, your second domain must be the inquisitor domain.
If the inquisitor has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as an inquisitor.
No mention there of the order in which you take the levels, just if you have them.

You don't get to ignore the inquisitor text as you level cleric. If you take a level of cleric after you are an inquisitor, one of the two must match. If you go into inq after cleric, you pick from one of the two.
