I have to disagree with you, I'm afraid. Apollo (from your example) by no mean belongs to the same class of beings as God of Christians, Jews or Muslims (or Brahman of Hindu). The origin of confusion is the fact that the same word "G-O-D" is being used for both. Therefore capitalization or no capitalization is used to distinguish God (as in Absolute) from god (as in deity, ghost or demon) :-)
