I'd see the biggest difference between such a socio-technical system and god as most of us have the notion (no doubt differently) is access by other people, though it may not quite be like that in much priest-mullah related religion.
I think we could have some good debate on transparency. I see the idea of transparent finance very good, Big Brother very bad (or trivial on television). But it isn't even this simple, as financial transparency makes a lot of other stuff transparent. I would have liked an extradition treaty with Spain when I was a cop - but I'd also want Snowden to find asylum. I like the idea of world peace, but don't want that to lead to a bunch of rabid fundamentalists taking over because they are the only ones to keep guns. A lot of Greek argument ended this way - aporia - no way out.

If God did not exist – people would invent one! The development ofhuman civilization requires mechanisms promoting cooperation andsocial order. One of these mechanisms is based on the idea thateverything we do is seen and judged by God – bad deeds will bepunished, while good ones will be rewarded (or was this Santa?).
