The divine entity in real-world theomythology and its various religions that is most associated with anything we recognize or consider as sanctified, or holy and such, is the Judeo-Christian God, Yahweh. The older gods are typically those considered "pagan gods", and things that are holy to them are ideas such as serial rape, murder and war in praise of, the abuse of children, drinking of blood, violent orgies, live human sacrifice, and suicide. Not things we tend to consider "divine" or "sacred", despite these things being often sacred among those religions' followers. (There were just as many harvest festivals in honor of pagan gods, but the point remains).

The whole, wrathful god with shining golden champions who punishes the wicked, drives back the darkness from consuming the world, imprisons the authors of pain and death eternal, sets angels loose to counter demonic beings and guide humanity... that's generally all attributed to Yahweh.
