This reminds me of the component of Alcoholics Anonymous where one must identify a "higher power" - some people choose the number 9 bus, others their favourite potted plant etc....some people are happy to call anything "God" it seems - not me however. God (singular) is the sole preserve of Judaeo-Christian monotheism. Whenever anybody asks me "do/don't you believe in God?" I reply "which God?" partly for this reason (also to make them think, hopefully "yeah...why don't I believe in Thor/Ganesh/Apollo etc etc etc"). I see no more reason to call "the entirety of the universe God" than to call a bowl of Cheerio breakfast cereal God.
