But of course! Nothing is obligatiry. You are free to talk/write any way you want! That is your right. It is my right however not to understand what the hell you are talking about.
Now seriousely. Certainly the idea of the one and the only is no more obligatory in our society (it is a shame that it's ever been). However it does not influent the idea of the one and the only God in any way. You see, there are only two possibilities: either there is the one and the only God or there is not. You can refere to him/her/it as "God". You also can refere as "god" to something (anything from the monotheistic point of view) that is not him/her/it. Either way you are refering to entirely different things/persons/entities. Of course, religion-based obligations are not mandatory. Should not be. Still, mutual understanding-based - are... if not mandatory, then by all means desireble.
