How the Unmoved Mover compares to the God of the revealed religion?

This is a clic Rationalist definition of God as self-caused. For example that is how Spinoza defines the God substance. The God of revealed religion is usually conceptualized as an anthropomorphic, personal, transcendent God who creates. The unmoved mover concept can apply to different definitions of God for example the immanent God of pantheism. When Einstein was asked if he believed in God he answered that he believed in Spinoza's God, meaning all the natural laws that govern the universe. Recent physics may fit under the unmoved mover self caused concept, since it is believed that the universe self-created out of nothing through a random quantum fluctuation.
