I'm a strict atheist, but I like to use capitals for referring to God as a respect for those who are Christians. So do all Christians use capital G for God and capital H for He, His, Him, Himself, etc.?

Not all Christians capitalize the "H" in "him" when referring to God, but I do. And I think pretty much all of us capitalize the "G" in God.
Thank you for your respect. It's much appreciated. More people should be like you.

I've been a teacher all my life, so I guess I just naturally expect that anyone who has ever studied English understands that when we write a proper noun ( the name of a specific person, place or thing), we capitalize that noun. We Christians feel that the name of the deity we worship, is God. Hope that clears it up for you.

I do. And I thank you for doing it as a gesture of respect. To be honest, if I read one of your responses, suspecting that you were an athiest, I WOULD notice those capital letters.
I know, I'm just a weird, anal Christian.

The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.

God is a noun. He His Him ect.. are pro nouns even non-Christians capitalize those.

Yes, we do. I, for one, appreciate the effort. Thank you. With all the constant attacks Christians receive, it's nice that you're willing to show us common courtesy. I bless you.

Yes I do. For me its respect for God. I have laid my life in His Hands and in return He loves me for who I am.

I try to, but I must admit I'm not perfect at it. I always use G - its the pronouns I have trouble remembering sometimes.
