Well it would have to be conscious if any of the popular world religions are correct, unless its some sort of life essence.

I don't because I don't see any evidence. Seeing 'evidence' is completely dependent on perspective.

God is something we have invented to try to cope with our lack of understanding of the world, it was a necessity without Science.

The way I understand it, the most plausible way in which God could exist would be in a fashion where it did not interact with our Universe, where it just set the laws, but really had no freedom other than that, because once the laws are set they are in stone.
