Not in the conventional meaning.
By “reality is our God” we mean that honoring and working with what is real, as evidentially and collectively discerned, and creatively imagining what could be in light of this, is our ultimate concern and commitment.
And this taken from, what I gather, their official site:
God is not a person; God is a mythic personification of reality. If we miss this we miss everything.

I think in a nutshell they are trying to reconcile what theists have always done (which is partly try and describe the world) with modern day science, history and just simply evidence of what is real.
And the bits they do not know the answer to, they are filling in with goddidit (only they describe god differently), rather than "I don't know"
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
