I'm looking for a fantasy book/series where the god can impact the world or is a real being that people worship for whatever reason taking the place of religion within the book.
Sorry if my post is offensive to any relgious people.
No Terry Prat suggestions

You’re going to love Brandon Sanderson’s two most well-loved series, Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive.
The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
*The Books of Swords* by Fred Saberhagen
Well, there is a fantastic prose version of *The Ramayana* by Ramesh Menon. It’s lovely.
The Wheel of Time, Jordan
Elenium/ Tamuli, Eddings
Belgariad/ Malloreon, Eddings
Deverry, Kerr
The Cursed, Duncan
A Man of His Word, Duncan
Deryni, Kurtz
Saga of the Forgotten Warrior, Corriea
Hell is the absence of God by Ted Chiang
{{The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins}}
Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett (and probably other Discworld but this is the one I know best)
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms series by N.K. Jemisin
Thieve’s World and sequels edited by Robert Asprin. This is an anthology where the writers can use each other characters as long as they don’t kill them. The stories are mostly set in a city called Sanctuary
The novel Sanctuary (based on the Thieve’s World) by Lynn Abbey.
The Empire of the Wolf series by Richard Swan – a judge and his apprentice race to keep the empire from collapsing at the hands of religious zealots.
*Godkiller* by Hannah Kaner – badass mercenary who hunts gods for a living finds herself responsible for a young orphan girl.
The Craft Sequence by Max Gladstone – decades after wizards and gods went to war, various characters struggle to find a balance. In the first book, a young necromancer is hired to investigate the suspicious death of a god.
*Nevernight* by Jay Kristoff – this one has more of a young adult vibe, about the orphaned daughter of a disgraced noble house who swears vengeance on her parents’ murderer. I really like in this series how the gods manifest in the world as natural phenomena.
