that simply is wrong. If god is written with a small "g", then it is liike you say, refering to the class of deities, gods and djinnis altogether. If it is written with capital "G", then it explicitly is refering to the christian context of that assumed entity. Think of it as a convention (that is not disputed at all), if you want.

That'S why I use small and capital Gs carefully when using that word.

(Not that it matters at all. One god is not less worse than any other ).
