[Mr. Kalgukshi]

I've just deleted three postings for being off-topic.

This thread is not the place for a general discussion of religion.

If there is a repeat of off-topic postings, the thread will be locked or deleted.

Thank goodness!

partly because it's a proper name, but mostly because of tradition. in the same way that idioms often don't make a huge amount of sense, capitalization varies a little due to custom.

so the best explanation for your students may well be "we just do".

I just want to chime in and add that in the Bible, and in many Western Monothestic doctrines, the subject pronoun "His" is usually capitalized when the referent is God/god/'God"/"god." But I guess that wouldn't come up unless you teach in a Christian school, for example.
