Off the top of my head, here's a suggestion:

Peace Clans - "Barntar is a specialist farmer, and farming is most important to us, so many men here worship Barntar."

War Clans - "Orlanth is primarily a warrior, so if you really must be a farmer and not bear arms, then you are not worthy to call yourself a worshipper of Orlanth. You should worship his servant, Barntar, instead."

Balanced Clans - "Orlanth is both a warrior and a farmer, so we worship Orlanth the Farmer."

Of course, not all clans will fit the above profile, and it's just an idea.
