The Dwemer hated and envied the gods, I highly doubt they would worship any of them. The Dwemer envied the gods, so they built Anumidium to attempt to ascend to Godhood. In a way, it worked, and in a metaphorical sense, they became the brass skin of Numidium. As for Xrib? (this is speculation)  maybe its something to do with Falmer religion? OK, let's rephrase my answer

The Dwemer were a fantastical race of mathematicians, artisans and enngineers. but unlike the other races of Tamriel, they didn't woship any gods. when there were CLEARLY gods to be worshipped, the entire race extended a big bold middle finger to the gods in a big bold "f**k you! we don't need you! infact, we're going to build our own one, suck on that you wierdo motherf*****s!"

After a while, they started to deny their own existance, so they built me to "escape the dream". at this time my people had discovered the Heart of Lorkhan, and turned on the Chimer. Kagrenac was getting ready to operate on the heart, using his 3 tools. but he wasn't the only one to know how to use them. you, Sothas, had learnt how to use them too. Kagrenac started to cut the heart and the entire race dissapeared. They became my brass skin. and as you said sothas, I am The Dissapearance of The Dwarves. In the end though, they had therir wish granted. They wanted to escape this dream and they did, just not in a way they expected. I am forced to accept that I am one of the only dwemer in existance, and that i may be the last in existance if Yagrum Bagarn passes on.
