Here's a helpful atheistic definition of "God" I picked up somewhere: The force that enables good things to happen to groups of people who act upon a belief that they should do good to another.

I.e. if you say "thank God", you're really saying you're thankful that you and the people around you are making decisions that benefit everyone.

(Not an invitation for theistic discussion, just trying to be helpful to a fellow atheist)
