Main Entry: 1god
Pronunciation: 'gäd also 'god
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English; akin to Old High German got god
Date: before 12th century
1 capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: as a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshiped as creator and ruler of the universe b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind
2 : a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically : one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality
3 : a person or thing of supreme value
4 : a powerful ruler

Note that the definition of the capitalized meaning of God fits with Allah, Brahma, Aristotle's Prime Mover, Plato's Good, and so forth, and is not at all confined to either the Jewish or Christian deity. The one over- reach might have been my reference to Zeus, except that in late antiquity, Zeus was coming close to being worshipped as the "Unknown God" behind it all.........
