I think God as a deity that was the creator of the universe is a coherent definition. And I think that's the standard definition. This is why I am not ignostic/theological non-cognitivist, I think the standard definition of God works fine... I think it's when the claimant(s) doesn't distinguish between reality and existence and the universe, and when they claim that God is outside of nature, space and time as well as having created the universe.... it's when they start saying that stuff that it becomes incoherent. Until they give those details it's just a claim about something extremely complex being at the beginning.... which is extremely improbable. And the fine-tuning argument bullshit is dealt with easily by the anthropic principle. God Himself would have to be even more fine-tuned, etc, etc.
