That leaves a lot of beliefs that can be lumped into the data that are not God. Even agnostics would fall into this camp. “I don’t believe in any god but I cannot rule out the possibility of an omniscient creator…”
I think this is to incorporate religions that don’t have an Abrahamic concept of God like Hinduism, Daoism, Zen, Sikhism, Buddhism, etc. I’m sure if you asked a Hindu, for example, “How certain are you in the existence of God”, their answer would probably be something like “Which one?” or “What do you mean by ‘God’?”. If you include the idea of a" universal spirit", they might be more inclined to say “Ah yes that kind of sounds like Brahama to me.”
“….or a universal spirit.”

Still really dumb. But that’s what lack of education accomplishes. If you don’t understand, you’re stuck with beliefs.
