THE WORD "GOD"

For convenience, the words "God" and "Brahman" are used interchangeably by Vedantists, even though what the words refer to are not the same thing.

"God" in the Judeo-Christian tradition, for instance, means a divine something that is separate from us and that is only one thing.

In Vedanta, "God," meaning Brahman, also refers to a divine something, but it is not separate from us and is not just one thing.
