Shai-Hulud, if I recall correctly, was the name for God in the worms,
while Shaitan was the devil. God was oft referenced, but in a stand-
offish way, rarely in the current monotheistic view. Even the Jewish
sect in Heretics were very pragmatic about God and Jesus. Leto II was
the living god. Was there any true polytheism akin to, say, Hinduism
or Greek mythology? I can't seem to recall any.

According to the Dune Appendix II, the so called Ancient Teachings
included
the "Hindu outcroppings found all over the universe in little pockets. .
."
In addition, the Ancient Teachings included the Navachristianity of
Chusuk.
However, the nature of these Christian beliefs was not elaborated in any
significant detail that I can recall.
