Sure, not every model is perfect and there are going to be gradual or even sudden changes here and there. But on the whole, religion and geography are closely linked. Hence multiple gods or one bollocks God. Or none.
I'd have a lot more respect for the religious if they accepted each other's gods rather than all seeing theirs as the "real" one based on nothing. The way it is, a huge percentage of them are guaranteed to be utterly wrong.
We're talking about one/sixth of the worlds population and by 2030 one quarter of China's population, seems to me God's put a real killer on your model.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
