God, as a word is both a proper and regular noun, however. "God", capitalized, would mean a (one) god who is known by the name God, whereas an uncapitalized "god" would mean any god, be it God, or Allah, or I suppose Buddah (though that's pushing it, isn't it) or Jehovah, or Mars, or whatever.

Yeah, pretty much. Buddha isn't considered a god to Buddhists. More of an enlightened prophet. There are some Buddhists that believe in multiple gods though.
