Reminds me of 'Avatar' (2009 film) where the whole biology of planet Pandora was like a collective consciousness that was worshiped by the Na'vi warriors as theists worship their deities. I'm just trying to show how saying your deity is a collective consciousness is ambiguous hence not self-evident.
There's actually a big distinction between Pandora and Earth, if taken into context.
Their connectivity to their deity was scientifically demonstrable. The deity produced reliable results.
In real life...not so much.
