Epicurus (341-270 BC): Why Call Him God?

Epicurus, was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in 341–270 BC. Long before Jesus, and way longer before Prophet Muhammad. If they both existed. One of his widely known quotes is:
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?"
Apparently, logic and common sense is not new for us. Human being have possessed it from prehistoric times. But as we all see, blind faith and ignorance sometimes take over.
