Egocentrically Religious (Self-Projecting Faith form) when God seems to always agree with Alice, according to Alice.

Could also be an example of Hiding Behind Religion, where a character claims to be religious to hide their true nature?

The difference between the two however is that while The Fundamentalist really is genuine in these beliefs, though to a fanatical degree; Hiding Behind Religion implies some level of insincerity from them and that they are just using God as their scapegoat.

As posted above too, could be the Self-Projecting Faith version of Egocentrically Religious, where the character in question arrogantly claims to know God and what they like or dislike better than anyone else, but in reality, the character is actually projecting their own thoughts and beliefs onto God.

So, most likely either Egocentrically Religious, The Fundamentalist, or Hiding Behind Religion.

Does this help?
