I would have to parrot Richard Dawkins, and state that God, if he is defined in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic sense, is an utter delusion. God is the most improbable of improbabilities. He is a fantasy, and a dangerous one at that.
A belief in him has caused so many people to short circuit their ability to reason, and judge things from a rational and moral perspective. God, as a concept is the ultimate progenitor of much vice and pain around the world. He is the biggest red herring, masking resolvable conflicts, with ineffable enigmas. These religious “mysteries” have lead many good men and women to spill each other’s blood needlessly, in a vain effort to impose upon each other the truth of their interpretation of those very mysteries.
God is the arch enemy of progress, from a moral, ethical, technological, and scientific perspective. Belief in him is inimical to bettering our lives. Belief in him does more to erode man’s faith in himself, and that can only lead to disaster and suffering.

God is the creator of the universe. He is purely a spiritual being. He is The God. He is merciful. God is all knowing, all powerful and had a tremendous sense of humor. Look at His creation, he created such creatures as the platypus and humans. He is also incredibly patient with our arrogance and ignorance.
He cares about each person on this planet. He knew us before our parents thought about our conception.

God is either nonexistent or unknowable. Either way, worshiping God, prayer and theistic religion in general are wastes of time and thought. And we should take the money that we give to churches, televangelists and religious organizations to more worthwhile and accountable causes.

God is that which is. He is a logical necessity. He is the Cause of all things. He is of a different essence than nature, is outside of nature, and is therefore supernatural. He can therefore only be perceived if he manifests himself to us. He has revealed himself to us by his creation, through the Bible, and by becoming a human being and walking among us.

The God of the Bible? Almighty. Righteous. I would suggest to the audience that they read the Bible and compare their inwards with the inwards of Jesus.

God is Love, and you gotta experience love, to understand Him... (then i'd just stare at the person for 59 minutes)

As a mythical invention of the human brain that looks like an old man with a white beard that believers believe watches over people who believe in him without any proof of his existance.
