I view god or my higher power as the good within.
My third step prayer: May the good within me flower and grow.
My seventh step prayer is the same
This is probably closest to my idea of 'god'. As an atheist I love the concept of "thou are god" (Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A Heinlein, which helped me verbalize my atheist beliefs when I was ~9).
We are all gods in our own way and the strength/higher power is within us, we just have to listen and follow it.
