What is the taste of salt? Salty.
Anyway,i'm going to ask some of my Theistic friends about what they think God is.
I have a feeling that the definition of a God of an Atheist would very much vary from that of a Theist.
It makes sense that an atheist and theist might define god differently. A theist will define god in the same manner which their particular religion does but they will discount other religions's definition. An atheist will try to define god as a concept of many different cultures and ideas. The Hindu idea of god might differ from the Christian idea of god.
Your comparison of god to salt doesn't really work well. You can define salt and even write a chemical formula for it.
I found a definition of salt that most people will agree is a good one. It is harder to define 'god' because people use that word to describe many things.
