If I get to define it, then I would have some suggestions:

- Freedom. (Ok, would be more like a religion than a "god", but anyway...)
- The Universe. (And not in the pantheistic sense. In the materialistic
  sense.)
- The Sun. (After all, it's the giver of life...)
- Evolution. (What created us.)
- Society. (The giver of all morals. Although evolution also qualifies when
  you get down to it.)
- The Unknown. (Where our universe came from. Favorite source of arguments
  for gods and religions.)
