"God", as we English speakers refer to it, IS everywhere.
You are "God" and I am "God" and that concrete driveway outside your garage is "God" and this computer I'm typing to you on is "God" and the stripper dancing on a pole at Giggles is "God" and the teenage nerd getting dunked in a toilet right now is "God" and the BTK killer is "God" and that baby kitten I fed this morning is "God" and all that goo in our septic tanks is "God" and this overpiled collection of plastic bags from supermarket is "God" and that drug kingpin in Colombia is "God" and the sands on the beach is "God" and the atomic bomb is "God" and Snakes on a Plane starring Samuel L Jackson is "God" and love is "God" and hate is "God" and fire is "God" and Hurricane Katrina is "God" and my old broken down jalopy is "God" and good sex is "God" and bad sex is "God" and loud snoring is "God" and OCD is "God".
Everything, every matter, every substance, every concept, every and any of all that is is "God".
We are fragments of the whole. Fractions of the one. God is the universe itself. Our beliefs about God are not accurate but the fact that we can comprise them as such is evidence of God's programming and design. Even in error we are result of The Creator, The Source of all things.
BUT that's just it. We were simply created. We don't understand our programming or full functions. We don't understand how to work these divine machines very well. We just wing it really. We might stumble upon a few ways of operating these bodies of carbon but it's mostly improv with few instincts.
God is impersonal. We are just one of many many many many MANY creations in this unfathomable universe. We were simply given a bunch of drives and impulses that were just thrown together all at once which is why we stay confused. No instruction books. Selfishness AND selflessness in one form? Kindness AND cruelty? We're like Microsoft Windows programs! Poorly tested and not streamlined for efficiency. Full of system conflict. But it's what we got. God doesn't interfere once something is created. The design is made and it is allowed to fulfill its functions to its betterment or its destruction.
Society acts as judge because no one is there to correct anyone if they're not there. And sad thing is in our flawed programming and design we're not all that accurate. It's pretty sucky actually. But it is what we're left with. We're left to our own devices. We're all alone.
I don't believe in Judgment Day. This world is where the good and the bad must be dealt with. If it's not, then we don't need judges and monitors. The next time someone proposes the 'God will deal with them later' line ask them "then why are there doctors, judges, and police if God takes care of everything?" If they say he's working through them, respond with "This is God, the omniscient and omnipotent. God doesn't need a middleman or a conduit or a go-between and wouldn't use one. Remember? God's supposed to be able to do anything?"
The reason why society acts judge and monitor is because they are the only ones who will. God exists but we are on our own in this world left up to the programming and design God built us with.
Why we were created and why like this I don't know and perhaps never will.

There is ambiguity in your question. If you think that people are judging others and condemning them then the answer would be that where there is too much of intrusion and value judgement , this problem arises out of ego and self-importance.
On the other hand if you are going to refer to the broad norms of behaviour stipulated by society, we as human beings have to abide by certain rules and regulations, and follow a code of conduct, if we have to coexist and live peaceful lives.God is felt and not seen. He has given humans the thinking capacity and that is why there is no better judge than one's own conscience.

In my Christian religion, we are taught that humans have 2 natures, a sinful nature and a Godly nature, or something like that. It always reminds me of the old Donald Duck cartoon where he has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other and the both whisper in his ear. So often humans, of free choice , make the wrong decision according the Bible rules, rules for the believers, and they sin and judge and monitor. As I say, it is God's job and yet I find my sinful nature doing it anyways. I have to fight it. Psalm 23 1 footnotes: When we choose to sin and go our own way we cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves." Jesus knows the green pastures and quit waters that will restore us". We are all sinners

Are you not answering the question you have raised ?do yu think that our society is different from ours snd and is composed of differnet entities of foreign crestures .If god is evrything and everywhere as accepted by you how can you fail to see that the society is also composed of the same god ?.what is the special difficulty in understanding that position?
If still you do not understnd it , god himself woul dnt be able to make it clear to you. That will be proving that god can also be dull.

Because God doesn't exist.
Society makes decisions as to what is 'moral' and ethical and what is not.

we should not judge others for it is by the measure we judge that we will also be judged.
