In so far as concepts have meanings the concept of a god appears only to be defined by negative or relational attributes.
God is immaterial is not meaningful but insofar as it is, it is negative, ie not material! In other words telling us what god is not, but not what god is! God the creator is a proposed attribute, but it is relational, in that juxtaposes a god to a universe and asserts a causal relationship.
Thus there is no god concept defintion which identies gods nature (which in itself is meaningless because god is not natural but supernatural according to theists). No one can identify what a god is and what its primary attributes are, leaving theism at best poorly defined, but at worst meaningless. God talk becomes nothing more than babbling nonsense given our resulting descent into non-cognitivism.
