Which God Are Aquinas's Five Ways Supposed to Prove?

Some atheist like to say that everyone is a-theist to some extent, even monotheists, since everyone denies that most gods exist; mono-theists are just one God away from being totally a-theist. But the God which proofs are supposed to prove has a performative description, and a proof is supposed to have a referent, and so that description refers to something that exists. This is recognized as the same referent that monotheists believe in, which is a different sort of thing than the gods of various pantheons. The ancient Greek philosopher, Xenophanes of Colophon, recognized this difference 2500 years ago.
