Across the different traditions, deist spiritual practices seem more polarizing than others, such as the ball that we see on the representation of space as a checkered tablecloth.
It will warp the cloth all the more so as it is imposing.
(ball on tablecloth)
God can be the imposing ball that deforms space-time and makes the practitioners spread out on the tablecloth roll towards Him.
In a non-deist spirituality, this polarization will be lesser and the disciples will perhaps be lost along the cloth.
The question is whether it is good for the tablecloth of space to deform that way?
Are we aware that we are evolving within this space-time template
If, as far as the eye can see, we do not notice any deformation?
The God-polarization in the tablecloth of practice allows this exercise of consciousness.
Once this has taken place, the omnipresence of God is revealed in space-time, in reality.
We could speak of a process of dharmification in the representations of the divine in parallel with the evolution of the pilgrim on the path.
It is not a question of hierarchizing traditions,
the process takes place within each of them (to the point perhaps that forgetting God is the way to enter the divine)
Notes & Silence 
So, basically, you use gravity as a metaphor for god?
Perhaps not. Gravity is, rather, the concept we hold of god; the illusion, to which we are attracted. Which makes the non-deist’s getting lost the truer path.
Regardless of whether there is a god.

Rolling in God’s arms is not an illusion.
Words we use to refer to that may carry their load of illusory concepts, I agree…

I rather suspect most concepts are illusory, especially regarding deity, because they are generated by individual minds, regardless of whether expressed in words.
