    For me, I have always understood the catholic and protestant god as society. He defines rules that people live by expecting rewards in the form of miracles and purpose. If other people also follow god/society they are encouraged to perform miracles for others by acting irrationally selfless. Thus god is a self fulfilling prophecy. In real life something as complex as society is hard to grasp so god is an abstraction for it. People have different views on how society should work so there are different gods and the gods also evolve as their devotees views change.
