Are you going to Bruno on me and adopt some meaning that a thousand
years out of date.
I can't let you say this Brent. I use always the most common terms
used by everybody, except the dogmatic minority. I have hundreds of
book on theology, written mostly by christians and muslims, on
neoplatonism, and they all use the term "theology" and "god" in the
greek sense. They don't even mention that they use the greek sense as
it is compeletely natural in a non-dogmatic context. The restricted
sense is the popular, non scientific sense used by believers in
special tradition.
It is rather incredible, but constant, that the strong-atheists insist
so much on the dogmatic (and pseudo-religious) definitions. In
science, all theories rename all the terms. We change the theories,
not the terms, which would lead to confusion and would hide the
progress. You could as well say that Earth does not exist, because it
has meant for many centuries: a flat thing on which we walk.
The difference is that the billions of theists on the round thing we
walk on*/still /*use "God" to be the Abrahamic superbeing.
