Personally, I would think of The Creator as the process (or whatever) that brought about the conditions neccesary for our Universe to exist.
Well yes - to us atheists God is a concept created by people, and to believers the so-called 'false gods' (or 'Idols') are also concepts created by people...but the "God" you do believe in--if you're a theist--you tend to think of as 'The Creator' or the 'Prime Mover' I would think?...Otherwise - how exactly do you believe in "God"? I guess it must either be metaphorical then or you just believe that God himself is the universe...or something like that? I would have thought? Hmm...
