SPIRITUAL TERRITORIALITY

All the major religions of the world claim God as their own, but they all can’t have Him.  God would be spread too thinly.  Practically speaking, He would have to allocate portions of Himself to the various religions, based on the size of the religion, i.e. the number of adherents, the number of churches, mosques, temples, their wealth, and how many places around the world the religion is practiced.
The religions, meanwhile, would be elbowing each other, prodding, shoving, if not outright fighting for more God-territory.  Some would attempt to bribe God, or blackmail Him.
God could, of course, rotate the portions of Himself so that, over time, everyone would possess the same amount of Him.  He would create a schedule, taking into consideration the religious holidays of each which were certain to overlap.
Meanwhile, this religion would need to celebrate in the morning, that one in the afternoon, leaving the evening for those that remained, so everyone would have time for prayers.
God could settle it all, naturally, by simply declaring that He did not exist.
