How do you know which Bible and God to follow? There are, at the moment four thousand two hundred know religions. At a best guess. Source: (http://tinyurl.com/numreligions).

This is not counting different versions of the major religions.

Gödel's proof says nothing about religions. It just deduces the necessary existence of a "God-like being" if some well-defined axioms are assumed. Gödel's proof also doesn't say whether there is only one or several such God-like beings. But some philosophers say that its uniqueness could also be easily deduced.
