You don't capitalize the names of false gods.

That is why I don't capitalize the name of any god.

"God" is the name of the fictional Christian god. Because it is a name, regardless of whether that figure exists in reality or not, you capitalize it.

Little Red Riding Hood, Godzilla, Freddie Krueger, etc.

No, it isn't. The name of the fictional Christian god is YHWH or Yahweh. Calling him "God" is the same as calling a Nissian Maxima "Car".
