What functional difference could one expect to see between a universe as conceived by an atheist and a Spinozist universe? Is there a reason for Spinozists to bother talking about God, since it seems they view God and the universe synonymously?
Functional difference? No, at least for most atheists.
It's about semantic consistency, atheists believe in God and they don't know it. An atheist is someone who says "Me and John have the same parents but we aren't brothers".
