The trolley problem poses the question should we sacrifice the few for the benefit of the many. We reject this line of thinking as all are children of God.

That's not what the trolley problem is about... Even slightly.
People are going to die no matter what in that scenario, so it's about whether you should minimize the deaths.
There's many variations of the problem that become much more difficult to decide though.
