If it's "a god" (with article), "god" is a general term, like "chair" in "a chair". If it's just "God" (without article), then "God" is a name, and names are, for some reason, uppercase in English. General terms are almost never upper case, apart from beginnings of sentences, and some confusing exceptions like "American" (country / language adjective). (I'm not a native speaker though)
