They claim to have a relationship with it.
They claim to love it and to know without a doubt that it loves them back.
They claim to know attributes about it when it's something that they can't define in any tangible way.
Well, all those are different claims than that the thing exists.
There would have to be further elaborations of the argument, or different arguments, to explain how "personal relationships" or whatever are possible.
As for "defining in any tangible way," I wonder if that's a bit of a confusion. Tangibility is sensory. A definition can't be tangible, as it's made of words. Theological traditions give definitions of what (they conclude) God is, though, as I said, they don't hold that he's tangible.

Ooh, that seems dangerous to me.
Just because people worship a meteorite that fell from the sky, doesn't mean it's really a god. It may mean that people mistakenly believe it's one.
