Whatever dictionary engine Yahoo uses is considering the following: The term "God" refers to a name, as does "Satan." However, there is also a word "god" which can be used to describe when someone believes in some other "god", other than the "God."
For example: Q: Which god do you believe in? A: I believe in the one and only God.
On the other hand, there is only one Satan, and that is a name. Therefore it must always be capitalized.

Because God mean the specific Christian god, where as god can also be a description of deities from other religions. Try writing God, with the capitals, and see if it tells you that that is mis-spelled.
BTW, for the person who asked earlier, lmao means: 'laughing my a** off'

god satan. ok i just tried it that is weird. the only thing i can think of is Yahoo recognizes Satan as a proper noun instead of a general noun. That IS weird though. Ok I just typed johnson and spell checked it too, and it did the same thing. It MUST recognize Satan as a proper noun.

Satan is the name of the Devil a proper noun God is written with a small letter by Jews out of respect god or g-d. no big deal I always write it God out of respect for Christians.

Satan is a proper name. god is not. God is only a proper name when writing in reference to the Christian God which used God as his name. When i say god I could be referencing any one of several hundred gods.

I don't know about Yahoo's spiritual beliefs, but "god" is both a proper and improper noun, which explains the two spelling options.

I never noticed. I hit ignore and don't capitalize satan because he does not exist. I capitalize God because I think He does exist.

Do you know what our company name means?
y-yet
a-another
h-hierarchical
o-officious
o-oracle
which in turn means: rude, unsophisticated, and uncouth.....
does the genre of satan fall into these categories? very well could possibly be some close ties here....
good observation, man!

Small 'g' god refers to any god. Large 'G' God refers to 'our' God, as his personal name, much like the Moon refers to 'our' moon.
