Most religious people insist on writing their god's name as God, or in some cases G-d. This doesn't make any sense to me. It's not as though this is actually the god's name, just a categorization of rank in society. In the Jewish tradition, only the head cohen (priest) actually knows the Jewish god's real name and speaks it once a year on the most sacred ground. I could understand capitalizing that, but why the word god? Yes, we do refer to people as King X, but when not attached to the name, king is not capitalized.
