i might need to reword and refine that.
let me try this:
if god's a man in the clouds then he's fictional, but still useful because it adds a motive to do good even if you know deep down that it isn't *REAL* real
if god's real then he's more of a cosmological, undeniably[i/] sacred, all-encompassing, iDontKnowHowToWordItButISupposeThatsPartOfTheNatureOfThisIdeaOfGod... noun.

If I were to believe in it as a more concrete object than a social construct then it would be less of a man in the clouds and more the universe as a whole. all of the undeniably sacred things like maths and cosmology et cetera.
