Benefit: +2 to save DC for the caster's domain spells. This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time the bonus applies to a different domain. If the caster has spell focus or greater spell focus the bonuses stack for domain spells of the appropriate school(s). This feat does not stack with the Focus Good or Evil feats.

I think that works.
-
I would say we should be really careful with the stacking. I would say the spell adds +2 to the check unless the caster has spell focus or great spell focus with that spell in which case it only adds +1.
-
The reason we went with +2 stacking is because it is so limited.

I think +2 is fine but if you are going to stack it then you can't have it be +2 on a spell that is already getting spell focus, greater spell focus or both. Therefore I would say it only adds +1 to a spell that already has spell focus or greater spell focus and +2 otherwise. This is still beneficial because there is no way you are going to have spell focus and greater spell focus on most spells in your domain so you will get a +2 to most things anyway. Just to compare ability focus give +2 to only one of your abilities such as stunning fist. This is much better then that and has a potential to give a +2 to a 9th level spell save which is pretty powerful.

Keep in mind, most Domains only have at most 5 or 6 offensive spells so its not even affecting the whole domain. I think the risk of a very few spells with a very high save is OK.

I totally disagree and feel it has the potential to be game breaking. I personally wouldn't have it stack it all but if we do then I would only even possibly consider +1

What about a stackable +1 DC and +1 caster level for spells from one domain?
Compare the arcane feat Spell Thematics (can't remember the source) which gives a +1 bonus to caster level for 1 spell per spell level, plus an increase to the spellcraft DC to identify your spells.

I think the stackable +1 DC and +1 caster level would work as well.

I like this solution.

This is a good alternative, it gives the non-offensive spells a bonus as well.

agreed

I have written it up and added it to the ever expanding book of Habololy religions.
-
Are these customized domains going to be in the Habololy religion books?
I suggest where ever these will be documented that you make sure to site a source of the spell. If not I'm sure we'll spend lots of time trying to figure out where the hell some of these came from.

They will be in the religion book, I will note sources.
