Even if they are not specialized religions, the p111 sentence "Your character receives all keyword abilities if he takes a magical keyword during character creation, but does not automatically gain all of them if he joins a religion during play" still applies.

If you join it in character creation, you get everything.

Devotees are theistic stations and have nothing to do with common religions. A starting worshipper of the Seven Mothers gets _all_ magics regardless of whether they are feats, spells, charms and talents.
