That's a good point about personal gods...but I'd suggest that most or even -all- god believers would not be satisfied with having their god categorized as such. It's not just a voice in their head. They don't think that people who have voices in their head have god in their heads..they think those people are crazy - just like the rest of us.
I think it's fairly clear that this idea of a god, while creative and very permissive..and maybe even what the reported phenomena actually -is-, it's definitely -not- what they mean by a god, and so it's existence would not..even to them, qualify as an existent god. Just crazy people. In your case, believing that they had a voice in their head would not be linguistically or logically equivalent to belief in a god.
