Because not everyone is a Jesus Fre*k. : ))
Besides, God isn't a Name, its a title. Jehovah is his name, or haven't you looked in your KJV Bible?

Well, I'm an atheist but I capitalise the G in God for the simple reason that it is a name and a proper noun. I capitalise it in the same way as I would capitalise the name Steven and the Bible I would capitalise in the same way I would Hamlet (which is also a fictional book).

You only should if you are using it as a name.
Those of us that don't believe often are not using it that way. When I say I don't believe in any god, that isn't a name but the entire idea. So I wouldn't capitalize it.

Also, when it's not a title, as the "THE" God, but as a non specific noun "the gods were angry" it isn't supposed to be capitalized. The spelling cops would arrest you.

Why not the "t" in tooth fairy, or the "l" in leprechaun? I see no need to capitalize god. If he did exist, I doubt that he would have such an ego that he needs a capital "g" to feel important.

If it was capitalized it would indicate it was a proper name, and worthy of respect. Since it's an imaginary concept, I don't see the point in putting a capital on god.

It means that, I don't believe in god, when I do it.
Just like leprechaun, or my screen name (adam's first wife, lilith who became a night demon)
