Sometimes the most...
ANSWER:
When you state 'god' I assume you mean 'Jehovah' (Yahweh / YHWH / Allah*).
And yes, I understand that you don't believe in 'god'.

Ah hah! Now you reveal that your Thread (topic) question is a 'trick' question.
You stated said question (Thread topic) in the context of the common American (U.S.A.) usage,
with a variant – you used the small letter 'g' instead of a capital letter 'G'. Tricky!!!
But, you're
not a qualified authority to define words. Therefore, the common definition of the word 'god' (small or capital letters) is:
American Heritage Dictionary --- A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the
universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
--- The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
--- A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people,
especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.
--- An image of a supernatural being; an idol.
--- One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.
--- A very handsome man.
--- A powerful ruler or despot.
In addition, you only posted five times (5 / page 1) on this Thread (topic), and thereafter you remain silent. Doing so, without presenting an intelligent, reasonable, and comprehensive FACT as the
true answer to your opening question (Opening Post #1).
Why? You promised an answer. Could it be that you don't have a
provable FACT to offer? Instead, you merely have subjective conjecturing.

SUMMARY DEFINITIONS Belief:
to have confidence in the existence of something, without absolute PROOF.
Creation:
--- the world; universe.
--- the original bringing into existence of the universe by God.
Religion:
a set of 'beliefs' concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when
considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional
and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of
human affairs.
FINAL ANSWER:
What you or I 'believe' is
irrelevant to FACT.
Your belief, my belief, their belief, etc. –
cannot:
--- Create a God that doesn't exist.
--- Destroy a God that does exist.
'God is dead.' – Nietzsche / 'Nietzsche is dead.' – God
Belief is
irrelevant to FACT.
Egoism and ignorance are the cause of human beings to confuse 'belief' for FACT.
Creation is an UNKNOWN.
Death is an UNKNOWN.
Human Existence is an UNKNOWN.
For millennium upon millennium, Mankind has argued about
Death and Existence – without PROOF.
At best, all arguments are simply a mental exercise without a
provable conclusion.
Yet, Mankind continues to breed and present this quandary to the next generation. That IS
selfish and fiendish!!!
YOU cannot
truly answer the two most important questions (
Death & Existence), yet YOU breed and knowingly condemn children to DEATH. That IS
maniacal egoism (abnormal).
NOTE:
Don't take YOU personal, unless it applies.
"Innocent Children" should be your (the) concern.
