The Quran says about God:
255. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).
2:255

I believe in God, the Creator. He created the universe, but does not interfere with it. He is a single God. I understand God by looking around and observing. God gave us reason, not religion.

Actually, the secularization started with the church's 18th century dogmatic attitudes that pushed science away. Science and religion had grown to the point where they weren't at odds until this occurred. Following this, rigid attachment to literalist interpretations of the bible resulted in more and more distancing, to the point where the literalist interpretation became far removed from the original intent of the biblical authors. Worse, theological questioning was now treated as heretical which means that honest intellects had no where to turn when they wanted answers to sincere questions. Darwin found himself in this quagmire, with theology not being flexible enough to allow his reasonable questions to be integrated. However, we've recently seen some expansive theologies that allow for the integration of science and religion, where people don't see a contradiction between evolution and God. As for me, I don't 'believe' in god because 'belief' implies that something may or may not be true; instead, I look for the direct experience (enlightenment) that goes beyond belief and non-belief. I haven't experienced it yet but ... I see that the possibility of a direct experience of God is there.

I believe in all gods, and this is how:
I believe in a Divine Feminine (the Goddess, or the Lady), and her consort, the Divine Masculine (the God, or the Lord).
All other gods and goddesses of all religions are facets of these two supreme gods. They represent specific aspects of one (or both) of these supreme gods, such as love, victory, health, fertility, wisdom, strength, etc. Every god of every religion exists and is a valid god because They are all a part of the Lady and Lord.
This will probably lose me any chance I had at "Best Answer," but I've got to say it. In my personal and humble opinion, the god of the Christian Bible would be a god representing jealousy, if I had to guess His aspect. It even says in the Bible itself that He is "a jealous god." Yes - the Divine Masculine has a jealous part; nobody's perfect. Not even gods. Everything has a balance (I will explain this below).
Why?
Because I believe that balance is necessary for a successfully harmonious cosmos. Thus, there must be balance between good and evil, light and dark, feminine and masculine, etc. There is no all-good or all-bad deity - even the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine have a balance of these two aspects.
I also believe in (and support) religious pluralism, in that every religion is equally valid, accurate and true when viewed within its particular culture. Therefore, I do not disbelieve in the existence of any established belief in any given god – They are all out there, and there’s probably a lot more of Them than we’re aware of.

No. I don't believe that any gods exist. There's no reason to think any do exist.
This country was secularized long before Darwin. The Constitution of the United States is founding document of one of the first explicitly secular governments in the world. God isn't mentioned in it anywhere, unless you want to including the date. It was debated whether God should be included in the Constitution, but it was explicitly left out. It even stated in the Constitution that there shall be no religious test for public office. And the first amendment to the Constitution tried to make it very clear that government wasn't going to favor any religions. Jefferson explained it further to the Dansbury Baptists, calling it a wall of separation of church and state. Also, Madison wrote extensively on the dangerous if mixing government and religion, for example in his Memorial and Remonstrance.

To answer your question:
Do I believe in The God: Yes
WHO: I believe in The One and Only God. Jesus's Father.
What: Not sure what you mean by what, But What I believe in Is Following God's Son Jesus that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. By Faith I truely believe this. Otherwise with out faith I would not believe this.
WHERE:The God of all the
Heavens and the earth.
HOW MANY: I believe in One God.
WHY: Because Of the Faith that was given me my freshmen year in High school. I became a christian when I went to a youth group Christian camp. Even though I was brought up in a Christian home. I never considered myself a Christian until I decided on My own to become a Christian. I knew that Jesus Gave me the faith to believe in Him. And that right then I was Saved.

Either you're ignorant or you're purposefully and conveniently misinformed.
Not everyone has always believed in a single god. Since the dawn of humanity, there have ALWAYS been atheists. Atheism is the default position... you are unaware of a god concept until you learn about it.

I believe in God, the Creator of the Universe. Jesus died for our sins... our horrible sins, this man, Jesus, he sacrificed for ME, for YOU, for HIM, for HER. Jesus loves all, even those who sin... he wants them to be saved! Most do not realize this... some are unfortunate... others are lost... only a little see the light.

I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe that God created the Universe. Just because He has died for my sins and that He has done so much for me.
