Theists uses the term “god” in an intentionally slippery way.
I have no problem describing some overarching factor that dominated the formation of the universe we know as “god”. In this case god could just be a stand in for any other symbol.
I only have a problem with associating what the symbol represent with anything else.
Either god created the universe, or god got nailed up on a plank, or god is enlightened, or good is good. Not one of what the symbol “god” could mean in each of these proposition show any indication whatsoever of being the same thing as any of the others.
it is the slippery conflation of these 4 that betray the fundamental and itredemmeable dishonesty of the theist position.
