It's probably more accurate to say that he doesn't believe in the all knowing god that most christians do, the all knowing god portrayed in magic book.
The difference may be minimal, ofc, as it's even more accurate to say that he believes in an all knowing god with less to know. I think that's a tough way to reconcile real or perceived issues in a gods alleged character. Even human beings appear to be capable of possessing foreknowledge. There's nothing specifically illogical about a god knowing less than we do, or lacking some specific knowledge we have or can have - but I don't think that's going to fit into whatever else neo feels compelled to shoehorn into his god concept.
The same problem can be contextualized in an explicitly moral framework. Does god (or do people, for that matter) know right and wrong, or the difference between. Is this even knowable? I think that's pretty easy to answer for subjectivist or relativist frameworks. God can certainly know how god feels about a thing. God may know how gods people feel about a thing. What about the objectivist space, though? Is a god capable of knowing something about x, rather than something about itself or something about it's people, that makes x bad?
