Two parts here 2 different subjects...
Celts were primarily Druid, they did however have a wide array of Gods and Godesses, mainly of earthen nature to oversee successful crops. They also believed once a King Died he became a god, and would continue to guide them. Gods however took the forms of many things or animals and would visit during dreams or in visions. Morigon, (Dont hate me if I'm wrong) Took the form of a Sacred Cow. A sign of life, fertility, and Happiness for women.

On the second point, Did you know the Catholic church had Married Popes? between 300- 600 A.D. The Papacy was often in Chaos, even being moved once to France from Italy. There was one period that there were 3 Popes at the same time! Celibacy was adopted in the 7th century in the Church for several reasons, most of them more political than religious.

Rabbi's during the time of Christ were supposed to be Celibate as entering the inner rooms of the Temple was strictly a Men Only thing, and Women were though to be "Unclean" as punishment for the sin of Eve. Rabbi's would go though elaborate bathing rituals before entering the temple as would Men able to enter the Temple. Jesus Cured a Blind man in one such bath.
