It depends on whether or not you respect the deity or not. For instance, Christians will capitalize He, Him, Who, and Whom when referring to God, but non-Christians generally do not, particularly when emphasizing that they do not share a faith with Christians. The capitalization of deity pronouns is purely a matter of reverence, rather than grammatical rules or norms.

In short, if you want to avoid offending someone by disrespecting their deity, it is probably better to capitalize Who.
