Herein again the limitations of game theory rearing its ugly head. Infinite vs finite representations. Individual religious assertions, even within one faith, are much too manifold. Too intangible to model, especially with game theory which has its inherent problems with complexity as it approaches the infinite.
Take five (Baptists, Methodists, Atheists, Catholics) put them on a table, Freud them, get five widely different diagnosis and views.

Difficult to model something that has varying constants. Varying constants??? See?

It would be hard to the point of impossible, but that doesn't mean that it's logically impossible.
Logically impossible? Perhaps not. Currently impossible? I think yes. Unless someone some where is poised to publish resolution of a few hurdles in quantum mechanics, quantum economics,
and quantum religion (quantum mysticism), because what you are proposing encompasses all three. Now granted, certain breakthroughs in quantum mechanics itself will reverberate throughout the associated disciplines, but will not completely solve all of the problems inherent in each discipline. Considering religion, I think those are obvious (To be or not to be a Deity)
In quantum economics are the same common problems of economics.
1. Wave duality.
2. Quantum entanglement
3. Observation of an undisturbed system. (Schrodinger's Cat err cut)

Quantum economics describes the behavior of fundamental particles. Some of these particles are listed below:
-Currençon. The currençon is the fundamental particle that mediates the force of monetism. All money can be quantized into currençons. A currençon can carry a credit charge or a debit charge.
-Politon. The politon is the fundamental particle that mediates the force of politics. Politons come in two flavours: Left-wing and Right-wing.
-Bozon. When a bozon accelerates, it emits morons and can create a field of ignorance.
In the most common formulation of quantum economics, various properties of a system of economic particles, such as profitability, sexiness, and virtue, are represented as probability functions. These functions are called wavefunctions (short for hand-waving-go-away-I-can’t-explain-it-functions). However, once a measurement or an observation is made of the system, the wave collapses. A “particle” exists as a wave until an observation is made. Until the observation is made, the particle’s position is indeterminate. Only until the observation is made do particle-like behaviors appear. This wave-particle duality is fundamental to quantum economics.
The above description perhaps can be simplified with an example. A corporation is a collection of currençons and bozons. These particles exist in an uncollapsed probabilistic state. Once an observation (or an audit) is made, then the probability wave collapses into either a profit or a loss. Thus, we have the following sequence:
1. Observation.
2. ???
3. PROFIT!!
How a probability wave collapses into profit is not known with our present day knowledge of quantum economics.
In some cases, an abundance of too many virtual currençons with too many real bozons causes the entire system to collapse into a state of bankruptcy when an observation is made. This economic phenomenon has been investigated by research labs at Enron, Global Crossing, HealthSouth, and WorldCom, despite the fact that the phenomenon is completely well understood.
In experiments, the theories of quantum economics have been proven to have the same validity as any other theory of economics. Some of the more well known quantum economic theories are outlined below.
Schrödinger’s Cut
Cubicle
Schrödinger’s Cut is one of the many types of quantum economic thought experiments that can be carried out in a cubicle.
Schrödinger’s Cut was a thought experiment proposed by Erwin Schrödinger. Consider a cubicle in which there is no method for an employer to observe the employee contained therein (a so called black box cubicle). An employee is then placed in such a cubicle with access to a corporation’s assets. While the actions of the employee are unmonitored, Schrödinger proposed that the employee existed both in a state of having embezzled and a state of honest work. Only by way of a painful audit can the wavefunction of the employee’s innocence collapse to a single classical economic state (a process called a cut collapse)
