On monotheist religions, god seems to be the entity that caused the whole Universe to exist. The creator.

On polytheist religions, each god is in charge of a particular aspect of Nature and can bend that aspect to its will... although, it ends up working in predictable ways, leading to the invention of scientific laws, or rules which the Natural world seems to always obey.

On works of fiction, god or gods are the omniscient narrator(s).
