If you are not a Christian, then I don't assume you don't believe in some type of god, but I don't assume you don't believe in the Christian God. You could be Muslim or Jewish, and in that case, I would still believe you are worshipping the same God that I am worshipping - the God of Abraham. However, if you are not any of those, I do think you don't follow the same IDEA of God that I follow. That's all.

Because Christians believe in one God, the God and Father of Jesus Christ. As far as Christians are concerned, there is no other God in all creation but this God

Christianity is NOT a religion, it is a lifestyle of faith - based on your understanding of who God is and what He did by sending Jesus to the earth He created and for what purpose.
Christians are people who believe that Christ is the Saviour and He is the connection to Almighty God. If you believe that, understand all it entails, then you can be a true follower of Christ - Christian.
Many are "christians" in name only, because they believe in God and go to church, that does not make them a christian, any more than slapping a porsche logo on your VW makes it a porsche.

i dont think you guys are really nice toward my religion , first of all i totaly disagree with "shelby" there, but we think that because if you dont believe that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (called the trinity), and if you dont believe that Jesus Christ died for you sins, or that God is the creator , then doesnt that mean you dont believe in God, well there are other fake "gods" out there like the made up greek "gods" or buddha or the hinduism thing but look christianity is all about having faith in Christ as your savior so yeah i hope that helped?

Jesus staked all of religion coming down to whether we have faith in him or not. If we do, then our belief in God is validated by his grace and we become his true children. If we dont, then we never knew God and we were never his children. I tell you the truth we are all creations of God, but not all his children.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God -John 1:12
If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. -John 8:42

I have no idea. Christians, Muslims, and Jews all worship the same god, the god of Abraham(pbuh) and all the prophets (Pbut) after him.

Because many of them think their god is the only one in existence.

Because they believe that their god is the only one that exists (or is that the only three?).
If you aren't christian, then you obviosuly don't believe in their god, so you must not actually believe in god.
