You have a good point there.
I would go further and say that the very term "God" is now so laden with religious and anti-religious attitudes of all sorts that it is counter productive to use it as a label to describe the Creative Force or Cause you mention.
It is one of the most powerful automatic push buttons !

In this regard, at least MrG and the JW by endowing their God with the personal name of Jehovah, show they are not referring to the Universe enabling "force", "impulse", "first cause" etc, some of us periodically struggle to exchange about.
They regard a God they can put a handle on .. so to speak, as much more appropriate approachable for their purposes.

I think the next periodic "Humanity lifter" will keep away from terms such as "God", "Love" and "Judgement".

the intent of the word "god" is now tainted by the perception of humans
