It is part of Jewish theology to hold holy G-d’s name and part of that is not writing it down on something that could be erased/deleted, so they alter it in some way like substituting the “o” for a “-”. It’s arguable if “God” counts as it is not one of the names prescribed in the original Hebrew, but some more religious Jews will do it anyways.
