For me "God" looks like a character that is bald and with a beard... you know.
Besides the beard and the baldness... I don't think it is a "character"... but that the sum of it all... the universe or so. "Love is all and love is everyone..." as The Beatles sang, or so...
And it's a big "Or so". Everyone influences one another, so we're God in some way... and everything is God or so, not a particular external being watching sitting at a throne or so (quite boring by the way...).
As for subjective reality... and The Beatles again...
"I don't believe in God, I just believe in me..." It's me who has to help myself and the world if I can...
For the Christian definition of God being omnipresent (being everywhere), this is close to the "Universe". So maybe it's all the same.
God created the Devil too, you know... God is everything, for me. Or maybe nothing at all. Or the sum of all consciousness, etc... I don't know.
The thing with religions are that are closed belief systems. They've got his God or gods and his "total truths" and nothing can't go against of that. You can find security because everything is certain in religions, you don't question a thing, and that's good for many people, I guess. As I'm not a believer of any religion my beliefs are open, so my definition of God, If I have one.
