“A new survey of religion in the USA finds four very different images of God’s personality: the Authoritarian God, the Benevolent God, the Critical God, and the Distant God....Respondents could check off 16 adjectives they believe describe God…the survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 points.” -- USA Today

Gods also receiving votes:

The Distracted God
The Distracted God is omnipotent but overscheduled. Even when he is everywhere, his mind often is elsewhere. Americans who believe in Distracted God don’t believe in the traditional good-versus-evil schism. It’s more like "items on God’s shortlist versus items on his wish-list." These believers understand why prayer books repeat the same lines, over and over.

The Handsome God
Americans who believe in the Handsome God envision their lord as the best-looking, coolest guy ever.

The Dumb Boss God
Dumb Boss God has been around for longer than anyone can remember, and he likes things to be done a certain way: His way. But he’s easy to deal with. Listen attentively to what he says, post his rules neatly on the bulletin board, and then do whatever you need to do to get the job done.
