The 6D world, often called heaven and hell by the denizens of the 3D worlds, are made up of several kingdoms, each built up around a greater or lesser god of some form or another. Some kingdoms have very close association with one 3D realm or another, others sit on their own interacting and concerning themselves only with the affairs of 6D beings. When a kingdom has influence over a 3D realm, the level of influence that they have will be reflected in the number of worshipers the king god of the kingdom has among the denizens of that world. The 3D realm that hosts the earth has had a particularly large number of deities who have attempted to gain influence over it, but over the course of the past few hundred years there is one god that has gained a controlling level of influence over the earth. Since obtaining this powerful lead over the other kingdoms, his direct interventions within the earth have decreased, and since his influence lowers the activity of the other god-lead kingdoms it has lead to several of the dwellers of the 3D plane on witch earth sits to begin doubting the existence of any gods at all.
Celestial Domains/Kingdoms
A god's "domain" refers to anything that gives them power. All gods will gain power from 2 things at minimum, the number of worshipers or followers they have (regardless of whether they are 3D or 4D beings,) and the number of followers their vassals have. A god can also gain power from an additional source if they take special methods to bind themselves to something.
The Abrahamic Religions
The 3 Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, collectively represent the kingdom with the greatest influence over the Earth. It is lead by a god so audacious that he took the title of "god" as his name, and demanded that he only be referred to by his title. This bold move, however, proved itself to be warranted as today he is the most powerful god in the current 3D world to the point of having hegemony over the entire earth.
This "God" is the patron god of the family of Abraham. He gains additional power for every living decedent of Abraham, those who are ethnically Jewish. As such, while there are now 3 major world religions in worship to him, he has a special place in his heart for the Jewish people.
The fallen gods
Many other gods once reigned over the earth, but have now become little more than a foot-note in history. Most of the major controlling deities have been more or less cut off from having access to the earth. In particular, Zeus and his pantheon that once ruled over the area of Greece no longer has any contact with earth. Odin's kingdom had broken contact for a while, but it is starting to set down some roots again and gain worshipers in some minor populations. There is also the sexually promiscuous pagan religions overrun by fertility gods and goddesses witch gained back some ground in the 1960s after having been completely stamped out in the 1500s.
The only major kingdoms that managed to retain anything even resembling their former glory before Yahweh took over the planet are Vishnu of the Hindu religion witch has a localized hold in India, and the Jade Emperor of the large bureaucratic kingdom of the Shinto Religion which used to have a large presence in China before it got overtaken by the forced atheism of the Chinese Communist party and is now sharing an equal stake of Japan along side the Christian presence there.
-Kingdoms that are still relevant
-Kingdoms that have completely fallen
Other minor gods
Aside from the fallen gods, there are also a few minor gods and demigods that never had much of a following to begin with. Before Yahweh's takeover, they used to be able to find a small community of followers usually about the size of a small tribe or village of 30-100 people. Now days, there are still some who are able to do this but they are having a much harder time of it.
The most notable among the former minor gods are the animal gods of the Native American tribal religions.
