They used to worship the traditional elven pantheon, with particular emphasis of Auriel. They obviously hold no reverance for the god of light anymore, so I think it is reasonable to believe they may have replaced him with a diety more akin to their situation. The Daedra have changed the way the elven races have looked and acted several times before, examples being the orsimer and the chimer/dunmer. I think it is possible they may have had a hand in the fall of the falmer. Possible, but I dont see the Falmer worshiping anything that isnt, or wasnt. one of them. From what I gathered in the DG storyline, the 'Betrayed' dont believe in anything anymore. Nothing stepped in to save them from the Nords and Dwemer, they believe they were betrayed by nearly every living thing on the surface, even their own people who managed to escape the Dwemer or just never agreed to the deal. By this time in their evolution, its just part of what they are to hate everything that isnt Falmer. Personallt I believe the torture by the Dwarves and living in such harsh enviroments underground made them what they are.
