"At a minimum, we mean the Being in which the visible universe is rooted, and its source of order."|

God is generally referred to as a "being," but I don't think it is justifiable to use that term without defining what exactly could fit within the term's boundaries. Imo it is entirely possible that God is something that a human would not recognize as a "being."

Anything that can create the universe has to have abilities that are quite a bit beyond those of humans, after all.

Imo it is part of the tendency to anthromorphize God (for example, by referring to God as "He" rather than "It").
