Should i lose marks for not writing “god” with capital letter?

I’m a christian and rarely write god with a capital letter. Why get all religious about it, I really don’t think he cares, he’s god and a capital letter isn’t going to impress him.

You wouldn’t write America or Mark with a little letter, God is a proper noun. I’m an aethiest, but a name is a name, and you’d get penalised in an exam for incorrect English.

“god” without a capital G is fine, when referring to any god in general. Diana, Zeus, Mars etc are all gods and godesses. It only needs a capital G in this case at the beginning of a sentence. But God with a capital G is a proper noun, just like your name, and therefore merits a capital letter, atheist or not, purely because of the conventions of our language. It also indicates which god you are talking about.

When referring to the name of a person, place, day of the week, month etc you always have to use a capital letter.It’s just the way it should be no mater what your beliefs.

Because, even if you don’t believe (and neither do I, but I consider myself agnostic), ‘He’ should still have a capital letter………even if you don’t think I exist, I still expect you to write my name with a capital. So, yes, it would be poor punctuation, to not, but I know where you’re coming from.
