I am not saying everyone believes or even should believe that the universe still exists if nothing is observing it, just that if you believe it does, it must stem from a belief in something that could be described as "God". The term "God" is just a label, you could describe it in a variety of ways, but the essence of the belief would be the same.
think shrodingers cat.
BECAUSE I assume that most people believe that the universe exists even after we die even if one defines themselves as atheist, I have come to the opinion that even most atheists share a belief in "God", although they certaintly not describe or label that belief "God".
Thoe whole point is that the belief exists independently of any of the ideas or connotations which are associated with it. Some may have the idea that It's some invisible hand, or a flying spaghetti monster, or a bearded man sitting on a cloud, or simply an objective reality has no bearing on what "God" actually is, should this "God" exist.
