Huh, well lets see first of if you are referring to Christianity Most of North America, South America, Europe, and Australia have heavily Christian populations so I guess all of them worship a "white" god if you can call him that "Jesus was a Jew". Muslims and Jew's also worship the same God although what happened later on is where we find disagreements. In Asia you find several different religions (Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism) I am not sure what "color" they are but I assume they are probably Asian.
I found this list looks like about a third of us are Christian but the US only makes up about 5% of the worlds population!
Christianity: 2.1 billion
Islam: 1.3 billion
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
Buddhism: 376 million
primal-indigenous: 300 million
African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
Sikhism: 23 million
Juche: 19 million
Spiritism: 15 million
Judaism: 14 million
Baha'i: 7 million
Jainism: 4.2 million
Shinto: 4 million
Cao Dai: 4 million
Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million
Tenrikyo: 2 million
Neo-Paganism: 1 million
Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
Rastafarianism: 600 thousand
Scientology: 500 thousand

There are many gods because that is what happens when you leave an ignorant isolated group of people to give an explaination for life.
That and religion has to sell itself in order for it to retain its power of the population. It is evident americas God is white because it was appealing to whomever it was first practiced upon.

America's god isn't white, and i think you posted this in the wrong section but any how, does race really matter when it comes to religion i mean are you following god because he's god or are you following him because you think he's a particular race?

First of all 80% of the world prays to the same God...Muslim's, Christians, Catholics, etc.....White people prefer to pray to a white Jesus...and he has been portrayed as white...There is no picture of God that I have ever seen only Jesus...You person of low IQ...ya you....Your God is really proud of you and your angry, hate evoking question

Many years ago (when I was totally fuc*ed up on a bunch of booze and a shitload of various chemicals) I'm pretty sure I saw God.

God is a spirit, and therefore has no colour.
