I think it's one of the most poorly defined concepts out there, and I don't see how you could tell anyone that what they say is a god isn't a god to them. In fact, the only "gods" to have been demonstrated as actually anything other than imagination are exactly the least mysterious ones such as the sun.
True, but wouldn't you say that if someone were to claim that by God they simply meant some entity, like a giant star, or a very hot, dense, and small singularity, or a timeless abstract principle, or whatever, wouldn't you say that that definition doesn't belong in the God category?
