Since you are not a native speaker I must say it's a bit presumptions of you to insist that the English Language reinvent itself, you're a HUGE fan of acronyms so why not use FRIWYB for the Fundamental Reality In Which You Believe In? But if you insist on hijacking the ASCII characters G-O-D for that concept what new word do you suggest English speaking people use for the traditional meaning of that word, a conscious omnipotent omniscient being who created the universe? Please don't say coobwctu.

As a rationalist I disbelieve in omnipotent omniscient being, so I update the definition. Not all religion conceive truth in a so anthropomorphic way.

To say "I don't believe in God" might just be impolite, as truly you never know who you are speaking with.
