EDIT: Oh wait, if we read it as an idea of a supernatural being that can be as arbitrary as anyone chooses (e.g. a nebula) then the above argument doesn't count, but neither does the quote, as we're talking about reasons to believe, not beliefs.
God *is* arbitrary, god just isn't random. It fits into the spaces where nothing else will, so Satya, Truth, Muckity-puppy-fuck, and semanticize it all you like. God is just short-hand for what many believe in but lack descriptors for.
