Can you define your concept of God tightly enough to satisfy your belief but widely enough to protect your comfort zone?
Maybe not phrased well but I'm sure you get the idea.

You can only patent something if it is real and you can prove you actually invented it. Since you can't prove god exists never mind that you invented him i think you are flogging a dead horse. You might be able to claim copyright for the idea but you can hardly claim it as original. but then it similar to the arguments over copyrighting mathematical algorithms in software programmes perhaps no one should be able to claim property rights over ideas
