What are the possible constitutions of the Divine?
1) External to the universe
2) The universe itself
3) A consequence within the universe
4) A consequence of the mind of man.

The observable laws of the universe whether physical (material) and natural (behavioral), evolutionary(over time), and formal(logical) are the same regardless of which manner in which the divine exists.

The only difference is whether organize societies and polities and federations to enforce those natural laws (behavioral) in the reality we exist, or whether in addition, we suspect that the divine will hold us accountable in the alternate reality we have faith may exist.

So, while we may each need different incentives, enforced by or rewarded by mankind, or enforced by fear of or anticipation of reward by the divine.

In the case of the latter we are still obligated to envorce those natural laws (behavior) for our mutual benefit, regardless of how an individual is incentivized to obey them.

Ergo it makes no difference to anyone other than the stories we tell ourselves to provide the incentive to follow the natura law of behavior (cooperation).
