There are decent fiction books (and video games and movies etc) where that more or less is the backstory...
... but not too many people maintain religions based around those kinds of fictional books.
People cling to the idea of an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent god...
because it makes morality, and the world, follow a kind of universal and objective justice and plan, even if the details are beyond their comprehension.
Its a mental crutch for people who are bad at critical thinking, any a very effective cudgel for those cynical or delusional enough to wield the threat of such a god with charisma.
