I didn't say I've never heard anyone associating "God" with "The Cosmos", or "Energy", or bunch of other things.
I'm talking about the definition of a word. A word which is part of a common language that we speak in order to communocate with one another.
I'm in agreement with the following two definitions.
Theism:
Belief in the existence of a god or gods
specifically : belief in the existence of one God viewed as the creative source of the human race and the world who transcends yet is immanent in the world
Atheism:
Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or a supreme being or beings
All this is to say that I agree with OP. Don't use the term God with a capital G when you're talking about something more philisophical.
