Here is a question I have for any one of faith.
If you believed in the wrong religion, or God didn't exist, would you want to know that they didn't?
It's hypothetical. Just want an honest answer.

It is impossible for those of us with faith to comprehend a world without God. As far as the religion, I personally don't believe God is as concerned with what particular religion we belong to as much as He is concerned with how we lived our life and treated other people.

If you are implicating or trying to assume that many of us would rather live in ignorance than admit that God didn't exist: your hypothetical scenario implies that there is a possibility that God does not exist, which is an impossibility and contradiction for those of faith.

I have a question for you: why are you so intent on testing and trying to "stump" those who believe in God? I could be wrong in my assumption, but I believe it is because you are subconsciously uncomfortable or discontent with how you view the world as well as the notion of God's existence; therefore you need validation from other non-believers as well as the invalidation of believers to gain back a sense of "normalcy". If I am off target and wrong in my assumption, please correct me - I promise I will not be offended.

Firstly, if there is a God. I would strongly believe him to be completely ignorant of which religion people follow. He'd be more concerned over morals of a person.

I wasn't actually trying to imply anything. I was just curious, because Christians that I speak to have always told me to ignore issues and stick my head in the sand. Most seem to do as they preach on this issue. It's always, speak to God, feel his love for me and trust him. Anything but touch on something uncomfortable. I already did thoughs things as a Christian, even when researching. I kept God my centre. I even baked food and taken it to the streets looking for homeless people, and when they wanted to talk I shared my belief, sat on th pavement talking through things. Even setting dates to meet in church and gave my number. I am not a confident person who would normally even be able to do that. But I did, even though other Christians in my church shunned me for suggesting it. I often walked with a clean conscience knowing I walked in no sin, speaking to God with great faith. I was a good Christian, and I managed to inspire others by being focused on walking with God. People assume I didn't have faith, but I had plenty. I was humble too. But since I'm being honest, I have to say how it was.
Anyway, I didn't expect an answer. But I would of liked one.

I'm not trying to make others stumble. But I don't want people to go through what I did.
Sorry to say, but that was a wrong assumption. I'm very content with my beliefs. My job, no. My fiance, yes. I can find plenty of people to help validate me, but that isn't like me to do that. Thank you for your message.

Thank you for your civility in your response - unfortunately, that tends to be a rarity here and it is refreshing and uplifting to see.

From what I can tell based on what you wrote, it seems to me that you defined your faith by your actions without perhaps truly believing in God. Not to demean your understanding of God or your experiences by any means, but perhaps you were under the impression that you had to adopt someone else's perception and understanding of God. I could be way off track here, but to me, it seems like you never made your relationship with God unique and personal to you.

When evaluating your relationship with God, you cannot define or even judge the value of that relationship by how well you adhered to Christ's example through your actions. As I am sure you know, there are plenty of atheists who live a very Christ-like existence. However, for those who truly believe in God, your actions are derived from that belief and your love of God, not the other way around. Again, if I am off here, please let me know.
