well... iduno... I know what 'god' should mean in the western world, but. It used to be the supreme being. Nowadays it usually is an idea of sorts, an abstration of a "creative principle".

Then, of course, for some people, it is simply a reasurance that someone is in charge.

I recall one sage saying "God is the will of all". That idea of God I can relate to. Does it exist as an entity? Definetly not.

To me it seems (am I projecting?) that your idea of God is similar to mine, that it is the embodiment of everything that is. But once we adopt this definition, the topic of this thread becomes meaningless.

It is in vogue now to deny God as an entity. But God as an abstraction, no matter how nice souding, is both true and false.
God the creator cannot be separated from the Universe and can be found only as the universe itself. God the distinct entity in the Universe is not its God.
