we capitalized "Bible" but lowercased "biblical"

I think this makes perfect sense. Correct me if I'm wrong but: Bible is capitalized because it's the Bible, a proper noun, the name of the thing. Biblical is not capitalized because it's an adjective, relating to the Bible but not the Bible itself. God is capitalized because it's a proper noun/name, godly is not capitalized because it's an adjective. (A god and a bible would also not be capitalized.) Correct? I don't think the Bible is special in this regard, even though it's an inanimate object. If I name my computer the Gatekeeper, it also gets a capital.
