Do you mean THE God, with a cap G or the notion of god, with a lower case g...

Unless the idea of God created the universe, it's refering to THE God. That definition is intended to be a description of a supernatural spirtual entity; not a mere idea. Although St. Anselm argued that the mere idea of God proved that there really is a God, I put little credence in his "proof".
If there really is a God, then they're clearly not the same thing. If there really is not a God, then it doesn't really matter.
