MP: To the first: Yes, when speaking of theism in its most inlcusive definition I have found that in here it is necessary to keep using "g*d" (no caps) as a word to describe a god absent cultural layering being the focus of the belief invested in the definition of theism in that regard.

Its lineage rationally may be tracedĀ From Parmenides, Plato, Plontious, to Aquintas. Its fallacy is the belief in entity-ship.
