No.

If it's about a franchise or something in a franchise called Battle of Gods, he/she can take his concerns to whomever created that franchise. If it's about a fanfic, he/she can take it up with the writer of said fanfic. Neither has to comply. On one of my wikis, I had one anon try and "correct" a quote "Here, I am God" to "Here, I am a god", and consistently changed "New Gods" (and the short version, "Gods") to remove the capitals. Sorry, not up to debate. Don't like it, talk to Jack Kirby. Or his heirs.

"God" is a word that includes more than just the god he/she worships. There's tons of gods, some want their name to have a capital. It's basically the standard term for deities; alternatives seem contrived and may get the "ttt, they're being politically correct" eyeroll.

Like Emerson said, forcifully removing any reference to the word "God" will more than likely insult others (probably would insult me), as they're forcing their religious views on everyone else over an incredibly small thing that has far-reaching consequences. If someone else, who worships a God and calls him God and has no problem with other people calling things God can no longer call his God God, he would definitely be offended.

To quote I can't recall who: "You have the right to be insulted. No one has the right never to be insulted." Noone has the term "God" trademarked.
