I don't really see Ranma worshipping gods outright, at least not without having been in a D&D universe for a really long time.. or the scenario being an AU where he grew up there with the expectation that one picks a team.
That said, I can totally see Ranma swearing by a deity or three, and perhaps praying for guidance when he's pretty sure he's fucked. While I'd peg Ranma as Good, I think he'd gravitate towards the Lawful Good deities.. he'd be interested in the ones that embody principles he thinks he ought to uphold rather than the principles he consistantly does in practice.
A Ranma who's been in a D&D universe for some time and grown accustomed to there being real deities could look to Torm or Bahamut for guidance. The Path of Light would appeal to a Ranma fresh from the real world, especially one who has moved on from the Tendo scene, cut ties, etc.. in the interest of pursuing further martial mastery or just doing something with his life in general.
I could also see an embittered and more 'unaligned' Ranma, especially one who's been jaded for many years post-manga, looking to the Traveler as an example of how to avoid harmful entanglements and live on his own terms.
