 the god of religion, god of philosophy, ∓ god of mysticism
"God" is usually thought of as a sort of person up in "heaven", who creates the entire universe and all beings in it out of nothing, and then reveals Himself to humankind through a sort of cosmic rule-book, a Bible or whatever.
So the God of Philosophers is often so abstract as to be meaningless, just as the God of religion is so petty as to be ridiculous.
Unlike the "God of philosophy", this is not an unknowable principle, but rather one's own innermost Self (or "not-Self" as the case may be).

 Arguments for and against the Existence of God
The polytheistic conceptions of God were criticized and derided by the monotheistic religions.
Since God is invisible, and the universe is no different than if he did not exist, it is simpler to assume he does not exist (see Occam's Razor).
None of these criticisms apply to the God of pantheism, which is identical with the universe and nature.

 My Time in God's Hand, Octavius Winslow | The Reformed Reader
Beloved, God has placed us in a school in which he is teaching us to lay our blind reason at his feet, to cease from our own wisdom and, guidance, and lean upon and confide in him, as children with a parent.
God is powerful to upraise his cause if it is overthrown; to make it proceed if it remains motionless; and if we are not worthy of it, he will do it by others.
For our cause is in the very hands of him who can say: 'No one shall pluck it out of my hands.' I would not have it in our hands, and it would not be desirable that it were so.
