PS: Zoe controlling others is very Matrix-like, not my favourite bit.
You may not like it but I believe it to possibly be the very key to the show. Zoe created her virtual self, imbued it with her own 'soul' so to speak, and she appears to be the only one with the knowledge to do so. She evidently escaped when Vergis tried to download the chip. It's Mother Clarice's "code into a soul" which Zoe came to her about before her death (did Zoe tell Clarice all she needs to know to pull it off?). But if Zoe in the virtual world has all the knowledge and ability to use it that she had in life, then in Clarice's virtual heaven, Zoe is the 'one god.' A god not that just rules over its 'virtual heaven' but has powers that reach into all creation.... as long as that creation is plugged-in. (That is, unless Zoe and Tamara Adama join forces as a dual godhead). ...
