I believe that "God," is a concept. In every occurrence of the word (that I've found), "God" guides those who follow it/him/her. So in reality, "God" is simply a tool for guidance.
When a Christian follows God, they look to him for the way they view and interact with the world.
When a Muslim follows Allah (God), they look to him for the way they view and interact with the world.
When a Jewish person follows Jehovah (God), they look to him for the way they view and interact with the world.
When a polytheist "follows" their gods, they look to them for the way they view and interact with the world.
All versions of "God" (that I have come across) have a set of rules and principles; ways in which to lead one's life; ways in which to see the world. By that logic, I believe that "God" is simply a lens that one chooses to wear.
In the same way, I would argue that Atheists that stress that science can explain everything also have a "God" concept, and that is science itself. It too, has a set of rules and principles; a way in which to see the world; and in a sense, ways in which to lead one's life (reason and hard evidence).
