Lawrence's powers are vastly underrated in Selforge City, since everything runs on the proxy that is Selforge Technology, and its countless applications are mostly operated by Seira who looks a lot like a global advanced artificial intelligence.

The most visible godlike part of him is his large-scale ubiquity (every sisterhood has its own customized avatar that can self-replicate further when needed), and his ability to take on virtually any form/property/ability (illustrated by the avatars).

So to citizens, he's like a mix of Tony Stark and Superman, but with ubiquity and many appearences. Add to that the fact he created a heavenly utopia and designed the transcendent technology that operates everything in it, and they have good reason to see him as what I call a "tutelary deity", a superior being acting as protector and nurturer of a given community.

On the other hand, he's basically everyone's boyfriend/husband/father, and personally interact with them on a day-to-day basis in a very informal way, so religion and worship would be too out of place. Especially since he's a very free-willed, laid back and open-minded kind of guy, and nowhere near monotheistic level as far as they know (and he intends to keep it that way, realizing how powerful he is would make relations too awkward ^ ^;).
