I strongly dislike the "accidental battles". I should be able to jointly attack a province with an ally of mine without our armies fighting each other.

Surely that should be down to both players to organise, rather than the game? If you don't communicate with your allies, then that's whats going to happen.

On the other, your troops are fighting to ensure that you become the one true god. I can't really see them being willing to work alongside these other guys who keep telling them their God is a fraud, and they should worship this other guy...

Why wouldn't they work together at times? If a third-party pretender's ascension to godhoood is imminent, certainly your troops would be willing to cooperate with "the infidels" to prevent this. And I'm not sure that your armies are necessarily religious fanatics fighting to the death because of their belief in their "god" / pretender : if that was the case, you wouldn't have so many troops with ****ty morale who turn and run as soon as anyone gets nicked by an arrow.
It also ignores the possibility of pantheonic victories (in non-Dominions terms, the Greek gods fighting the Norse, or better yet, the Norse against the Giants). The ability to setup these kinds of a game is something people have long requested.
