It would be nice if people would hold to this consistently.
Generally when people here say that God is an unbelievable concept, it turns out that they have an extremely clear idea of the God they don't believe in. It's difficult to get across the fact that many influential Christians (not to mention people from other religions) conceive of God very differently from the thing they're arguing against.
In addition, I think that Mr. Bradlaugh was unaware of apophatic theology, which has argued for centuries that God cannot be clearly conceived of. As with the Way, 道, for Taoists, the God that can be defined is not the true God.
