The existence - or lack of - a God is one of humanity's fundamental questions. Since the first birth, the first sunrise, the first death, humans have sought to explain the world around them. The whole of human existence, in the end, comes down to this: Is there a God?

God can still exist in this framework
Because many people look at a mountain at different angles, and therefore see different things does not disprove, or even make unlikely, the existence of the mountain. The fact that many people see different angles, or ideas, of what God and his function are, do not disprove, or even make unlikely, the existence of God.

What God does
God's sole purpose on earth is to collect money from the naive and deluded and give it to the church leaders to spend it ad lib.
Religions/cults are basically Pyramid Schemes selling products that have no evidence of being effective or in existence. Your monthly membership fee to your god pyramid scheme entitles you to the promise of "life after death",an escape from "eternal damnation", "invisible protection" or "seven thousand virgins"
You will be expected to attend frequently for sales meetings with singing (brainwahing) & prayer (hypnothrapy), where you will be pressurized into handing over more of your hard earned cash. Like all good pyramid schemes, you will be expected to recruit more fee paying members into the business and thereby enabling your own progression up your god company ladder and thus gain more personal benefits . You will be expected to go out into the market place, to raise money for your god business to gain more of the market share. You may be expected at some level to commit atrocities against another god business, religious group, tribe, or competitor and annihilate the competition or force an acquisition and convert them to your belief system
To all Theists who disagree with me and think this is very cynical viewpoint, I only ask one question:
"If God created the whole universe (and all the gold in it), why does He want your money?"
