Most religions give God human attributes: He needs our prays to answer them , He has a plan for creation, He has feelings, He rests, He is absent, He judges, He is eager for our faith , He hides, etc.

Well...there's Sciencetology, but that religion's a bit complicated to explain.

My religion, Islam doesn't give.
We believe;
He does not have a partner or a likeness. There is no second He. He has been ever-existent; His existence did not have a beginning. He will be ever-existent; there is no end to His existence. He will not cease to exist. His existence is always necessary. His nonexistence is impossible. His existence is of Himself. He does not need any means. There is nothing that will not need Him. He is the One who creates everything and makes them go on existing. He is not material or a thing. He is not at a place or in any substance. He does not have a shape and cannot be measured. It cannot be asked how He is; when we say ‘He,’ none of the things which occur to the mind or which we can imagine is He. He is unlike these. All of them are His creatures. He is not like His creatures. He is the creator of everything that occurs to mind, every illusion and every delusion. He is not above, below or at one side. He does not have a place. Every being is below the ’Arsh. And the ’Arsh is under His Power, under His Omnipotence. He is above the ’Arsh. Yet this does not mean that the ’Arsh carries Him. The ’arsh exists with His Favour and in His Omnipotence. He is the same now as He was in eternity, in eternal past. He will always be the same in the everlasting future as He had been before creating the ’Arsh. No change occurs in Him. He has His own attributes. No change ever occurs in these attributes of His. Change implies deficiency. He has no deficiency or defect. Though He does not resemble any of His creatures, it is possible to know Him in this world as much as He makes Himself known and to see Him in the Hereafter. Here He is known without realizing how He is, and there He will be seen in an incomprehensible way.

Yes, there are but they are considered cults by the Christian church. Anything that depersonifiies the Christian deity is Satanized out of ignorance and fear that the Christians just may be wasting their time with all of their rites and much hot air blowing. There is a growing group which has many different viewpoints than do Christians. This group has no organization as do the Christians, but it recognizes that anything that is declared omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent has to be everywhere at all times, meaning that every single particle of the Universe, no matter how minute, has to be imbued with It's presence, power, and knowledge. This threatens the very foundation of Christian theism, therefore it has to be denied and the believers remain quiet, teaching only among themselves and among those who are ready to listen and hear. As Jesus said, "Let him who has ears hear and him who has eyes see."
Peace.

i'm hoping which you will no longer sense indignant if I at first component out that the be conscious "faith" potential some thing that human beings prepare, organised, and join. subsequently, and with the aid of the definition of your question, there is no faith that satisfies your standards. What you're after is know-how approximately God. you would be able to discover this with the aid of clicking on "Rational Spirituality" on the Dhaxem internet site. this concept includes know-how without postpone conveyed with the aid of a Divine Soul in completely logical words.

Well I wouldnt think so, I mean he created us with his qualities. Why would we think any diffrently about him. I think that is the most interesting thing about him is that he does feel, and Love and get angry.
Churches should base thier congregation around the feelings of god to make him more real to people who go there week after week. If they dont they are just wasting your time.

Believe it or not, I've been following the same lines of thinking as you. God doesn't actually have "needs" or "feelings." These are simply metaphors to help us describe how we should (or should've in the past) felt about or acted towards something.

If God created creatures He wanted to have a relationship with, what good would it do to create them with attributes so vastly different than His own that they would have no means of understanding Him?
I believe all that God requires of us (love, service, prayer, worship, humility before Him) are required of us because they are good for us, not because He needs them for Himself.

Pantheism. More of a philosophy than a religion.
