Some students may be uncomfortable, due to religious beliefs, writing the 'god' out at all. As far as I know, religious prohibitions against writing the word in full only apply to use as a name, but recommend 'deity' to replace classification usage if students are uncomfortable.

given that though, "the god of the Bible" is also correct, so long as it's used as a classification

Depends on how you're using "the god of the Bible." You could construct a sentence where "the god of the Bible" is referring to one of many gods of interest.

“Are you there, God, it’s me, Margaret” is using “God” as a name. But “The god of the Bible is very different from the gods of Olympus” is contrasting dieties without mentioning any names.

I have a 1970s Russian phrasebook published in the UK that says that it follows then-current Soviet orthography *except* that it capitalises words like Бог and Тройца (God and Trinity).

Logical, but what's the logic behind your capitalization of His (God's) vs his (Zeus's)?

I personally believe in one of these gods and not the other. Naturally as a teaching matter, reverential capitalization (the technical term for this) is up to the student. I won't correct it either way, the same way I won't require nor correct against a 'PBUH' for Muhammed, etc.

You make a really good point about how the hermeneutic of history breaks down as language creates new ambiguities. A friend and I were talking about why phrases like “blowing smoke up your arse” have forgotten contexts. An inelegant comparison, but I’ve made my point.
