I don't think it is impossible that there could be a religion in which they 
are different - but I don't see any indication that this is so.  The two 
names seem to be used in identical contexts, and are never contrasted by any 
speaker.

Imagine a book about our world in which the names 'God' and 'Satan' were 
used.  We would soon notice that these referred to different entities, at 
least according to the conceptions of the public at large.  Nothing like 
this is apparent in BotNS.
