Both? - Neither?
God is God, what ever name we want to assign to him.
There is a story of several blind mice who went out one day to discover what an elephant is like. Each one touches a different part, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. Depending upon where they touch, they believe the elephant to be like a water spout (trunk), a fan (ear), a pillar (leg), etc.
I compare this to many wise men who went soul searching to learn what God is like. As great & wise as these men were, they were like blind mice compared to the greatness of God. Each came away with a different perspective of God. And many different religions were started from these different perspectives. Neither are totally wrong, neither are completely right.

Shouldn't this just be a survey question? Anyhow, the answer is neither, like a lot of people said.
Why? Because, (1) although God could be one of God's chosen people, his mother is not a Jew, so sorry about His luck and (2) God is not considered to be victim of "original sin" so He doesn't need to have "saved" by Jesus, so He could believe in Jesus, but it just wouldn't be the same.
After looking at many many religions, I will make my best guesses:
1. God is a "Satanist," believing that He Himself is a God.
2. This is more of a stretch, but maybe God is a Taoist, believing that there is a nature to the universe that is ultimate and everlasting and from which He could create the problems of Good and Evil. Such a God, however, would recognize that "orginal sin" is His own fault and it would also mean recognizing a higher, if impersonal, power.
3. Of course, maybe God is not so different from us and wondering how the heck He came to be and made up all kinds of interesting ideas about it... Maybe He wonders what is real and if there really is a God's God because, after all, since He is so perfect, obviously someone must have made Him... I mean, it's not as if God just up and popped out of nowhere, right? Or worse yet, evolved? That makes no sense, huh? So there must be a God-maker out there somewhere....

God is God. Followers of God can be both Jew and Christian and maybe anyone else who embraces what God stands for.

Immediately another choice word popped into my head. Instead of saying it I will just say God is neither Jew nor Christian.

Jesus Christ is God.
He is God both to the Christians and the Jews, although the Jews do not believe that.....yet.
the jews are God's chosen people.
the Christians are God's "saved" gentiles.

Neither. Judaism and Christianity are montheistic religions, in simple terms living and doing what G-d wants. Thus the Lord couldn't belong to the religion.

Kind of a silly Q, but why not just ask Him yourself?
You do speak to God, don't you?
Where is He, you ask?... (where you least expect to find Him).
If you'll be quiet for a minute you may hear Him speaking to you first. It's that voice in your head that doesn't go away, just because you laugh.
Don't believe me?... go ahead, make the voice go away. Bet you can't!
