Pretty sure at least for Augustine of Hippo (a highly respected Christian saint, btw), God is not a mere "magic man in the sky". God for him, to put it simply, is Existence Itself. In fact this is also the case for Thomas Aquinas AFAIK, who thinks God is Being Itself. The point being that to say Christians think of God as "magic man in the sky" is a strawman with little basis in reality.
