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.
It's just a dodge, a way to say "god" without saying "god". The AA religion failed while Scientology actually made some money.
