I get frightened when I realize that some people actually need to have this pointed out.
The underlined word is capitalized, so it's a proper name rather than a common noun.

The Christian God, is the God of Israel, YHWH, and when Christians use the word God, this is who Christian's mean.
There are other gods that don't exist, but people believe they do

Like at Black Friday sales?
Hey, there is shopping at stake there, bub!
I always viewed "God" as a title, such as "President." It's not anyone's actual name.

And that is no different than the descriptive terms King, Lord, Queen, Goddess, Master, President, etc.

There are other gods that do exist, as well.

In 25 years of discussion and debate with atheists I've not heard that presented as such.

No, only entities that think they are gods. There is only one God.

Entities that think they are gods? Tammuz, Moses, the Judges of Israel? Angels, Satan, Jesus. All are called gods in the Bible. Some of them appointed as gods by God Jehovah himself.
