in PF, simple answer no. PFS I dont think so, but dont know it as well. should say in the guide
You can take any deity listed in a legal source as your patron. You can determine if Raziel is in a legal source using the Additional Resources page.
PFS requires that Paladins select a deity with the standard Cleric rules regarding legal selection. This is because there had been characters that were created as Paladins of Pharasma or Asmodeus, which are not legal selections under the Cleric rules and really seemed to be skirting the boundaries of Paladinhood, or simply hopscotching right by them.

In Golarion paladins (and clerics) must choose a patron god, though this is not required in the CRB.
You may choose any patron from the deities chapter in The Inner Sea World Guide, including the Empyreal Lords.
My first PFS character, the paladin Malachi Silverclaw (where have I seen that name?) worships Ragathiel.
There is a document which states which sources are allowed in PFS, and the section on The Inner Sea World Guide makes clear that any god in this chapter is an allowed patron.
EDIT: *gasps* Serisan is a ninja! *points*
He's right, though. A paladin must have a patron god whose alignment is LG, LN or NG.

Thanks for the info. Since Im at work I dont have access to my books and well - I think about stuff!!
Yeah Pathfinder Society has more rigid rules.
In core Pathfinder however you don't need to select any god and an angel would also work perfectly fine.
I recall that in a home game once we had an atheist paladin. When asked "Whu?" It was pointed out that paladins don't need a God. Obviously pfs is different but from that I would think that outside of pfs you could worship whatever you want.
And suddenly I imagine paladins of nachos. At least yours makes more sense than my examples.
I really like picking a God, though, even though it's not required. The new codes presented in Faiths of Purity and Faiths of Balance really make them fun to play. So much depth and so many things you can do with it.
I've got a Paladin/Sorcerer heading into Dragon Disciple who gets her powers from her silver dragon great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.

Whoah, Paladins are not Clerics.
Where is the PFS restriction forces Paladins to worship a god?
It's in the Guide to Organized Play.
Clerics, inquisitors, paladins, cavaliers of the order of the star, and samurai of the order of the star must choose a deity as all classes in Golarion that receive spells and abilities from a specific divine source receive their powers from a deity.
