You capitalize the "G" when referring to a single entity (i.e. God in a monotheistic religion) but use lower case when referring to "gods".  Makes sense; I mean, it's essentially a proper noun.

Oh, god is Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, and me on a deserted tropical island with a box of condoms, and all the food and pot we could ask for?

Shit, I'm a theist!  YES WE CAN!

lol...I think it would take a pretty devout atheist to use a lower case "g" even when it's the first word in a sentence.  "god, take that!"
