Yes but which God or Gods though Brian?
You are giving very none specific advice.
The Bible God was of Jews and for Jews. He slaughtered and slayed and
maimed Gentiles in order to preserve Jews - so that one is not really to be
recommended unless you are pure Jewish.
There are others to choose from - Zeus, Mars, Venus, Aphrodite, Poseidon,
Thor, Krishna, Vishnu and several others - so which God do you recommend?
Which one do you advocate?
Buddha was a reincarnation of Krishna - so you would believe then in the
Hindu Gods?
There are three of those.
In which case you should use the word "Gods" rather than "God".
There is no one overall God - the most powerful God is the Borg God.
The Borg are similar to the Jewish God in that the the Jewish God has many
angels whereas the Borg God has many Borg - but there is no connection
between the Borg God and the Jewish God - and none between the three Hindu
Gods and the Jewish God.
So what do you mean when you say "refer to god"?
Which one?
Some may prefer a woman God like Venus.
But if you follow Buddha then you would believe in the three Hindu Gods -
thus you should use the word "Gods".
You cannot believe in Buddha and the three Hindu Gods at the same time as
believing in Jesus/Bible/Jewish God - they are different and none
compatible.
Either you believe in Jesus - death - Heaven -no rebirth - no reincarnation
Or you believe in Buddha - three Hindu Gods - reincarnation.
You cannot have both.
If you believe in reincarnation therefore you do not and cannot believe in
Jesus/Bible/Jewish God.
FACT.
