Actually, it might be more useful to look at this proposition in a slightly different manner:  could God then be the sum of all souls?

To some people (including me), this suggestion may at first feel uncomfortably presumptuous or arrogant—possibly even outright blasphemous. But we’ve already been told by a long line of mainstream religious authorities that God is our father.  Aren’t children made of the same stuff as their parents?

On top of this, in their behavior, children have a natural tendency to copy their parents—and want to grow up to be like them.  Are good, healthy parents in any way offended by this aspiration? Don’t we instead simply feel flattered and touched by it?

Now consider that in every other form of living thing, offspring naturally grow into the same sorts of beings as their progenitors. Why should we humans be any different?
