It depends on how you define god. My agnostic atheist beliefs have changed a lot recently.
Now of course I don't believe in the Abrahamic omni-benevolent god that is a personal being and is watching you at all times, it's considered insane to think that somewhere there is a good guy looking out for you and you just can't see him.
I also refuse to believe that if there were a god he would be a physical being, if so he would be subject to laws of science and therefore just a normal object/animal/person.
Because the idea of a spiritual world is silly, we would have to say God is abstract.
What is abstract? Thoughts? They are made out of chemical reactions in our brains. Perhaps laws of science? They are not a physical object anywhere yet one asteroid weighing 13785 tonnes at -38 degrees in temperature collides with another asteroid weighing 9376 tonnes at 11 degrees and laws of science come into action.
The fact is that a common argument against atheists from Christian's is that everything needs a cause, and therefore God must be the cause of the universe. Atheists will say that it is a scientific fact that such things can happen at any time and have no need for an explanation.
Perhaps God is a law of science that is the cause of the universe and can cause things to happen at any time without a need for an explanation?
This question makes me laugh as Theists are calling out "GOD!" while Atheists are calling it "SCIENCE!" and now I'm finding it hard to see the difference between the two.
