174. Here's where you erred
"Invisible being" is an accurate representation of what many Christians believe in.

Though it is true that many Christians do believe that God is an invisible "being", it is not the majority view. The idea that God is a "being" or "entity" seperate from the rest of the universe (as we are seperate from the rest of the universe) is known as "dualism", with the "duality" coming from there being God *and* the universe.

The majority and mainstream view is that God is not an "entity" seperate from the rest of the universe. I'm pretty confident that you have heard that "God is everywhere". This is a (possibly overly simplistic) version of "non-duality"
