The cleric should cast that cantrip on anyone they meet so they know how to RP.
This might be considered a hostile action however. Not everybody has the spellcraft points to identify a spell, and casting spells on people in town without their permission was stated in another post before as being an illegal in Hlint, and most certainly Prantz. I would prefer the direct approach of asking, and most of my characters would likely gut a stranger attempting to cast a spell on them without permission. You might be able to secretly pull this off though while partying with somebody and while you're already laying down a huge chain of buffs on them.
*an unknown Cleric walks up to a wizard and casts divine revelation on him*
"My god doesn't like you!"
*wizard returns the spell with combust and laughs as the cleric runs around in circles with his head on fire*
"Wow, my god REALLY doesn't like you!"
Conversely, it would be funny for a Corathite priest to cast virtue on a person, drop his jaw and proclaim "Fetch the torches and pitchforks, we have a Corathite!"
Of course, divine relations is worthless to an Aragenite, since Aragen is hostile to noone.
That's not really a good line of thought for an Aragenite. All informaiton is sacred.

**edits** *sighs*
And sacred too, far more than scared ;)
As far as I can tell, the cantrip "Divine Relation" is worthless to an Aragenite.
1) Since Aragen is neutral to everyone, "divine relation" reports that everyone is neutral.
2) I agree that according to Aragen, all information is sacred, but even without using this cantrip, I can guarantee that I will get a neutral result-- Even if I cast it on another Aragenite.
3) Rowana, some information can be scared... it's kinda fun that way :)
Well , not really worthless in that sense my friend, since i understand what may led you to think it as such, Since Aragen sees neutral to everyone in regards on how to react, and of course every other deity may show neutral to your Aragenite cleric, and same would be for the non-good aligned people, but there is one thing that divine relationship can still do in this very case.
Aragenite divine relationship can tell the cleric when other being is dedicated to the very cause as himself (serving Aragen), this is if cast upon other member of the faith it will show you that the subject worships Aragen as well, this of course making no diference upon the actions the cleric should take towards this subject but letting him know that the subject persues ( in his own way ) the very same goals of serving the lord of Knowledge. This very fact makes this spell letting the cleric to know valuable information in regards for example in whom to trust the preservation of knowledge, or to maybe exchange notes expecting some level of objectivity . // this is at least on how i've seen it work, but to the extend on how i've seen the spell work. . now some field testing would be good.
I understand as i said that it is very much limited in comparison to the utility that is for eveyother gods cleric compared to the Aragenite, but there is still this diference that from the Rp stand point, makes a huge diference to be called worthless.
Just my 2 cents.
// Edit : after some testing, As you could see on the attached picture, It actually gives you information on whom worships Aragen, tested this with a PC casting it on an NPC with a deity field filled ( mechanically ), and with my avatar upon the PC
