Descendent Cleric
Rather than your divine power coming from your connection to a deity it instead comes from the power of those that came before you, and you are the culmination of your ancestor's strength. Your oaths and tenets as a cleric do not come from the doctrine of religion but instead from following the moral compass and expectations set by your family members. Descendent Clerics are almost always dwarves, as it originates from dwarven caste system and importance on following in your ancestor's footsteps, however other races that have a close connection to dwarven culture may also become Descendent Clerics.
The alignment of your ancestors and family expectations are what determine whether or not your ancestral power is holy or unholy, and whether or not you are expected to perform good or bad deeds in order to stay connected to your bloodline. These can be discussed with your DM to come up with tenants that are appropriate to the game.
