I don't use both terms interchangeably. I view the universe as the huge expanse that exists, even outside our limited knowledge (although us humans love to believe we're the center of everything )

I view God as the Source, the Eternal, which everything else brings us back to, the 'unmovable mover' as Aristotle put it, the Force which sets the universe in motion.

I am not a follower of any type of organized religion (which I believe is man's imperfect interpretation) - but I love studying theology and feel I am extremely spiritual nonetheless. So I don't necessarily view God and the Universe as one and the same, as some organized religions might.

I see God in the Universe. I see God in all things. I feel it's a shame some people only resort to seeing God in man-made religious institutions when He surrounds us at all times, and can be seen and cherished in all things.
