Then we say, "I think the common usage of 'God' is self-contradictory (because xyz) but it has a near-neighbor concept that isn't."

More of a complaint about usage distortions but yes.

if people went around saying "5 is a sky person who enables boron and Pentagons", saying 5 doesn't exist is unreasonable
