It's not even cogent enough to have a position on - I could define god as the physical laws of the universe if I wanted.That's right. I think almost all of us, Christians and non-Christians alike, would define gods similarly: they are subjective agents, they are massively powerful, and perhaps they are immortal.
If I really thought that was all that "gods" referred to, I would be a gnostic atheist. That sort of god is ridiculous.

Nope, I'd still be a lights out gnostic atheist.
