we just regret the fact that the word is used so much
It isn't that we believe in God, or don't believe in God, or have suspended judgment about God, or consider that the God of theism in an inadequate symbol of our ultimate concern; it is just that we wish we didn't have to have a view about God. It isn't that we know that "God" is a cognitively meaningless expression, or that it has its role in a language-game other than the fact-stating, or whatever. We just regret the fact that the word is used so much.
