Ehh..notsomuch... Religious Jews leave the o out of God because you aren't suppose to discard, get rid, throw away, etc. the name of god. It's building a fence around a fence around the Torah really. God isn't the name of God, it's spelled YHVH only in Hebrew. Some extremely pious people don't even want the word GOD to be discarded so they use a dash for the o as to not actually spell out the word.
BTW, Hebrew has vowels...they just aren't used in the Torah since it was written waaaay back when there were indeed no vowels.
