Billions of people believe in this "straw man" , and that is exactly why
using the word "God" is totally irresponsible if you're not talking about a
intelligent conscious being who created the universe.

For you "God" need not be intelligent nor conscious nor even be a being,
and that means you've twisted the word complete out of shape, presumably
because you feel that your mouth makes a plesent sound when it says "God".

No it is not, for virtually everybody being intelligent and conscious are
more important attributes than even omnipotence that something must have to
be called God. To use the word "God" for something mindless is ridiculous.

mean whatever you choose them to mean.

I've looked but I don't see where it's mentioned, see if you can find it:
