Intellectual property is a major issue in this Information Age, so there's no reason to think religious property would just be limited to altars and statues. Though I doubt any legal ruling would stop Christians from worshiping "God" if Judaism was found to be original owner of the monotheistic concept.
Then again, if there are
actual entities present, it'd be easy enough to ask them about any problems you might have with their origins
personally. It might even be the best route, they're likely to know everything about themselves, like most people in the world. Then again, it might be better to ask a related entity, because most the people I know think they're much better a things than they really are.
If they're just cultural concepts, I say don't use 'em around anyone who might be offended. (IMG:
