By "God" I mean an omnipotent being that created all the matter and energy in the universe, and logic and mathematics and morality and everything else; when I want to talk about a concept other than that I use a different word than "God". > I use the term God in the pre-christian sense of the Platonists.

You can certainly redefine the word "God" to mean anything you like, you can redefine it so only a fool would not believe in it, but I don't see the point. This proves what I have often said, many people are willing to abandon the idea of God but not the 3 letter word "God". If I redefine the symbol "5" to mean "4" then 2+2=5 is a true statement, but doing so would cause needless confusion.
