Greetings.
Does a PFS Cleric have to select a diety, or can they to not follow a specific diety and simply select two Domains that they like. I know the option is available in the basic Pathfinder rules, but it was recently brought to my attention that PFS might require a diety.

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. Druids, oracles, and rangers are the exception to this rule. The list is not exhaustive, and divine spellcasters of any future classes whose sources are added as additional resources to the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign will be required to choose a deity unless otherwise specified. Otherwise, characters who do not receive powers from a divine source may choose to be atheists or to have no deity at all.
Fair enough. Are there any additional dieties that were added in any of the publications after the Core Rulebook which may have different combinations of domains? We are really after the Animal/Fire domain combination.

From Inner Sea Gods, there's Zelishkar (NE deity of arson, burning alive and Cremation) which gives Animal, Evil, Fire, and War domains.
You may want to try the Seperatist Archetype of Cleric if you have Ultimate Magic.
Not sure on PFS legality, but a quick check in inner sea gods reveals two such deities:
Zarongel, the NE goblin god of dog killing, arson and mounted combat
Zelishlar, the NE daemon harbinger of arson, cremation and being burned alive.
You'll have to go with Zarongel since Daemon Harbingers aren't legal to worship(to gain powers from)

Try looking here: http://www.archivesofnethys.com/DeitiesByGroup.aspx
Anything with the little white symbol (Not the '3.5' symbol, the 'other' one) is technically PFS legal, though you still need to own the book in which the diety appears in order to play it.As mention earlier, the Separatist archetype is pretty good for getting a domain your diety doesn't normally offer.
OK, so Zarongel is NE, and the Cleric is NG. Is that within one step of the alignment? I've never quite understood that portion of it.

No, that would be two steps (NE to N, N to NG)
One step from NE is LE, CE, and N (plus, of course, NE itself is within 1 step).If you are NG, you have to pick a diety that is LG, NG, CG, or N. Or, shift your alignment.
For example, the wiki for Zarongel gives a little chart on the sidebar: http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Zarongel

That's two steps. One step is a single change, like NG to TN, or NG to LG, or NG to CG. NG to LN is two steps, as is NG to NE.
Edit: See here. Scroll down a little to Alignment Steps.

As the others said that's two steps, you'd need to change the alignment to TN in order to make the Cleric PFS legal.
