There are none. Zen Buddhism is not a religion. It is a practical methodology of opening the mind in order to realize the true nature of existence.
Only some people practice Buddhism, or Zen, the majority are Communist. Communism is a political belief, not a religion...
Some of the SECTS of Buddhism are Theravada, Mahayana, Tibetan, and Zen Buddhism. Buddhism is a religion, and therefor it has no "religions".
Zen Buddhism became popular in Japan because the people in Japan wanted to keep their own religion but also wanted to use Buddhism so they blended them together and created Zen Buddhism.

I don't think it's accurate to describe Zen having its own deities. At least as practiced in my center, we don't deify the Buddha but we do show respect for him and his teachings. What's more, it's not unusual for someone to practice a theistic religion (say, Christianity or Judaism) and also practice Zen. There need not be a conflict.
