I've seen people use "YHWH" or "Jehovah" to refer to the deity of the Bible, especially as he's described in the Old Testament. But maybe a single word like "Biblegod" can work too. Has a better ring than "The god of the Abrahamic Religions".

If you want to refer to the "psychopath" of the Bible, the correct term would be Satan, aka the devil, aka the father of lies. He isn't a deity, however, although he likes to think of himself as one. He's a fallen, evil angel, nothing more, who doesn't want to suffer his fate in the fires of hell alone, so he tries to get as many people as he can to go with him.
If you are talking about the God of the Bible, his name is Jehovah, the only true God, and his son's name is Jesus, but they answer to "Father" and "Lord" as well. And don't worry about having to "distinguish" the Trinity from the "deities of other civilizations". It's very easy to tell them apart. The later are a product of man's hands or imaginations and inspired by Satan. The Godhead had no beginning and will have no end, it's eternal, unchanging, loving, merciful, patient, forgiving, and understanding....even towards those who ridicule, mock, and deride.

The God that's represented in the Bible is morrally offensive. That is one vile critter. I try to remember to make the distinction. The one in the Torah and the Qu'ran are the same, maybe I should just say the God of Abraham.

God ain't a deity.

Since you don't believe in God and obviously know nothing about Him, you are in no position to even attempt to define Him. So don't try; you only miserably fail.

I like to put them all together under non-existent. It really makes no difference which particular fiction they are in.

Come on guys, admit it. You ask questions like these cause you're just not totally sure THERE IS NO GOD. You are talking yourselves into believing it. Whereas, we Christians have our faith that there is, lol. We see what you are blinded to.

When answering questions I usually use "christian deity" or "it".
