I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that people who believe God is love aren't going to be interested in this gathering in the first place.

They might be if they saw that it was a positive thing, rather than a negative/antagonistic thing at heart.

But sure, it depends on your goals as an organization. Do you want to promote your ideas, or do you just want to hang out with other people who already agree with you?

But really, if they weren't interested in the people who do believe in God, why bother with the word "God" at all? It's clearly in there to make some kind of connection with those who think about god/s a lot...

Maybe that's why they used the word "God" instead of "love." To get the attention of people who think of "God" and talk about religion using the word "God."
