Carl Jung is an important person to consider when thinking about psychology, religion, and spirituality (religiosity and spirituality are different).
Let's start with God.
Now let us consider Father.

You may see that there are similarities between the two concepts. Benevolent, nurturing, safe, powerful.... The mention of Bill Cosby is foreshadowing. (LoL Shadow... it's a Jungian thing)
If you have a malformed experience with Dad, you will have a more complex, and possibly difficult, relationship with God. You will see God as you see/saw your earthly father. It's not your fault and you can't stop that process. You can't do anything more than be aware that there is a relationship between a person's concept of earthly Father and heavenly Father. be aware that in reality, and not speaking of concepts or archetypes, God Father and Earth Father are separate beings.
Jung had strong feelings on the role of the spiritual and prenatural phenomena... He is also a respected figure in the field of psychology and mental health. Jung did not "leave his soul at the door" in his profession. Why should people in therapy be expected to "leave our soul at the door" in order to get help? Consider that everyone on the planet has a degree of brokenness. We need more grace between people and not less.

Let's start with God.
In monotheistic thought, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and the principal object of faith. The concept of God, as described by theologians, commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and as having an eternal and necessary existence. Many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent (perfectly good) and all loving.[citation needed]

The Father archetype combines the capacity for initiating with the ability to oversee others, whether a biological family or a group of creative people (e.g., staff). A positive father guides and protects those under his care and is able to put ideas into fruition.
Examples of the light Father archetype include Gregory Peck in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Bill Cosby in “The Cosby Show,” and Colin Firth in “The King’s Speech.”

Involved fathers offer developmentally specific provisions to their children and are impacted themselves by doing so. Active father figures may play a role in reducing behavior and psychological problems in young adults.[8] An increased amount of father–child involvement may help increase a child's social stability, educational achievement, and their potential to have a solid marriage as an adult. Their children may also be more curious about the world around them and develop greater problem solving skills.[9] Children who were raised with fathers perceive themselves to be more cognitively and physically competent than their peers without a father.[10] Mothers raising children together with a father reported less severe disputes with their child.[11]
