Yes...why not, it is an unlimited supply. You could give away as much as you wanted and always have more.

The answer is in the question and I see the irony in me, a Jew, pointing this out. Yes one would fill the pockets and the bags to bursting point and retire home. Now remembering that this is an 'unlimited' stock of gold, would I tell anyone about it? Absolutely not, the more gold on the market the less its value! This is an unlimited supply and the more people who know of it, the less my pile will be worth! Eventually what I have would be worth nothing at all.
The answer: you would have to be insane to tell a soul!

The smell of gold is unbelievably strong. You do not have to tell anyone. They will find it out to your surprise. Wealth always creates something on a man to make others suspicious. And if it is an unlimited supply of gold, the military in any part of the world will be your worst enemy. They are trained to plunder.

Only on the proviso that the knowledge stays limited to a certain small number of people. If the amount is unlimited and too many people find out about it, the value of gold will drop to nothing.

The problem with that is the fact that when you and your friends starts turning in all the gold it's going to frive the price of gold down and down and eventually gold won't be worth squat. You would have to divy out small amounts of the loot so that the market wouldn't get flooded.

Anything for which there is an unlimited supply loses its value. That's why we are not charged a fee to breathe.

Of course not.
If it is truly unlimited, revealing it would destabilize the global economy and weaken your own financial position.
It would have been pointless to have made the discovery if you told anyone else about it.
EDIT:
If you are attempting to compare religion to gold, you are way off the mark. Gold has value; religion does not.

No. I would continue to mine it in secret, and after I could afford a reasonably lavish lifestyle, I would set up factories in impoverished, high-unemployment rate areas, and then allow them to earn a living wage. I would also consider opening some kind of home for AIDS orphans in Africa where they would study and get visas to countries where they might be able to become wealthy and have better opportunities. And then maybe more centers and factories.

Ha, no way. I would keep it's location a secret and become the most famous philanthropist, giving gold to every person alive.
