To philosophical materialists God is no more than an idea in the human mind, and not a very important idea.
God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.
This is why the ultimate reason of things must lie in a necessary substance, in which the differentiation of the changes only exists eminently as in their source; and this is what we call God.

But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.
