Not sure what you're getting at here. But, yes, in my games, everyone who has both common magic, and theism takes nothing but feats (and the same with the other two specialized realms). I think this is not only fine, it makes a lot of sense. Heck, their fascination with feats may be how a particular character got interested in theism in the first place.
In any case, the book says in the early section on common magic that you can make up your own. So any commmon magic ability can be a feat.
That all said, common magic abilities don't tend to be all that spectacular. That is, I think that Call Lightning would be outside of what would be acceptable. Common Magic is more often of the "Heal Fever" sort of thing. In fact, I took the one guy who made common magic charms just because I liked the idea of him being a merchant of really "charmy" charms. "This one stops foot fungus!" That sort of thing. I like magic on that level.
