You are all highly appreciated. You are a good match for me!
We'll see when you actually start engaging us in a non-general way.

Our world is a natural world, even God is a natural God. You may call him/her/it Universe, Universal Intelligence, Nature, Energy, Mind, Force, Power...but whichever nomenclature you prefer, make sure it is all-inclusive.
Then my question still stands: why call it a god (let alone "God")? We already have perfectly good words for each of those things - you yourself used them - so what's to be gained by conflating them together under one umbrella term already overloaded with erroneous baggage which is totally contrary to your stated aims?

Speak for yourself. Personally I hold out the hope that humanity outgrows the childish need for an imaginary crutch of its own accord. What you describe is at least as draconian as any theocracy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
