God of the Open Sky is a Pantheon in Civilization VI. It grants +1 Culture to all tiles with a Pasture improvement.
Strategy[]
Like Stone Circles, God of the Open Sky is usually a safe early-game pick if some of the relevant resources are visible. Both Cattle and Sheep are common bonus resources that frequently spawn in clusters, and unlike Stone, do not have as strong an incentive to be harvested. Unlike Stone Circles, however, God of the Open Sky does not provide Faith, making it less appealing to religion-focused civilizations but of interest to those such as the Mongolians and the Scythians, who tend to spawn near Horses and have a low Culture output that hampers border growth.
In particular, this pantheon is a natural fit for the Australians, especially if they're trying to win a Culture Victory. By founding cities near Cattle, Horses, and Sheep, they can trigger Culture Bombs and generate bonus Culture to quickly expand their cities' borders, and later surround them with Outback Stations to help their cities grow.
