That may or may not be, depending on your concept of God. But regardless, whether or not you believe in God changes and affects you and how you interact with the world. Therefore, the word is not useless.

btw, are you a UU? Just curious.

I think my votes are contradictory: there is no way to know whether or not there is a God; we are co-creators (I don't know, I have always liked this idea); and God in nature.
There were some that I easily disagreed with and others I think are just as true, but I had to pick three.
