Obsessions with this God concept, irrational fears about Hell and this "God" character's wrath, compulsions like praying, going to church, etc.
Am I wrong?

More likely due to activity in the temporal lobe.

Well when you put it that way...lol. Probably. But there are people who are the opposite, obssessions with debunking religion, irrational fears that religion is taking over the world, compulsions of spewing hatred and making banners and suing people...

As an atheist, I think your question's hilarious. Unfortunately, there are just too many people who believe in a fundamentalist, "different," or just any religion for all "believers" to have OCD. I'm going to end my opinions there . . .

You're whole premise is skewed by referring to God as "this God". God is real; whether you choose to believe in Him or not won't change that. And very rational people consider it rational to worry about hell.

Yeah sorry cupcake but your wrong.
Few of them fall into a true definition of obession or compulsion. Close, but no they don't

Obsessive thoughts: hell, sin, need to clean oneself morally...so unclean...God always watching....
Compulsive behavior: church attendance, prayer, persecuting minorities...

Maybe not OCD but CFD (Compulsive Faith Disorder).

you seem to be only talking of some religions here, and mainly monotheistic ones at that!

NO, but obsessing over people who are religious might be a symptom.

No honey, it's paranoid delusion.
Persecution complex, hearing voices, feeling supernatural superiority over others, etc...
