Certain religions count as Gods mechanically even if they don't contain any Gods, example Undying Court, which they accidently made AL legal.

The 5e mantra when it comes to rules is: the specific over rules the general. They simple need to have a specific rule for Eberron. Nothing to see here.
I’ll be quite curious to see how this plays out. Will there be cross-play (say, spend X number of Downtime Days to travel to Eberron or Ravnica or Faerun) or will they be kept separate? They’ve talked repeatedly about not wanting to fracture the brand, and allowing portability seems like it would help avoid that.
The problem is, there is no *rule* that actually says a nonpolytheistic religion counts as ‘gods’.
The problem concerns the building of an official supersetting that includes Eberron − which contradicts the official rules.
It sounds like all of the settings will be completely mixed together. For example, Crawford mentioned archfiends from Forgotten Realms invading Eberron.
Forgotten Realms elves will be learning Eberron elves religions. And visaversa.
There will be peas all over the mashed potatoes − and mashed potatoes smearing all of the peas.

Xanathars Guide, a supplement, has a note that in effect invites the DM to consider religions that revere a cosmic force or sacred philosophy. However, if the DM does so, the DM ceases to play official D&D and is defacto homebrewing.
The core rules must become more subjective, diverse, and open about the many different kinds of religious views, before it is able to meaningfully integrate worlds like Eberron, Ravnica, and Darksun, into a supersetting.
