If Materialism Is True, the United States Is Proba...
Yes, indeed, it's all about defining the attributes. It seems to me that the gods believed in by proponents of extant religions were "created by committee" and don't have completely coherent, logically-consistent, non-contradictory properties.

Except for a few mathematical concepts I don't see any thing that would have such property, e.g. Art, Good, Justice, Culture, etc.

Luckily, unlike deities, Art, Good, Justice, and Culture are all fairly easy to examine empirically.
