How do you reconcile religious beliefs with the Many World's Interpretation of quantum mechanics?

Many World's Interpretation says that every time a particle interacts with a person, he goes into a superposition. So trillions of versions of every person exist in branches of his quantum wavefunction. 

Will all these versions of you meet the one God? Will they all then meet each other? Or is God in a superposition of states also? Or is there some other outcome?

    Whereas I do not have a good answer, the question fascinates me.

    Maybe there are many gods along with the many worlds.

    "Whereas"?  

    I don't believe it, frankly, but you can test it to see if it's true.  Everett told us how.  After the fifth time your handgun misfires and you survive, you can assume the Many Worlds Theory is true.
