There is no "wrong" God. Like the first person that answered... if someone knew that their God was wrong, they wouldn't really feel inclined to believe. However, it's really about what feels right. People believe in whatever they want. It's a matter of the heart.

The universe is complex and probably required a Creator. But which one? It seems that all cultures throughout human history have recognized the role of a Creator God.
The Creator defined by the North American Native Americans only asked that humans live in harmony with all nature. In exchange, the Creator provided plants and animals for humans to use as food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Early Native Americans showed their respect and appreciation to the Creator by making small offerings of tobacco.
The Creator God defined by Hebrew scholars, 6000 years ago in the Middle East, was a jealous, and often cruel God. He demanded that humans make sacrifices of animal blood in order to appease Him, and set out Old Testament laws of behavior that often required the stoning-to-death of your neighbor for sins as minor as eating shell fish or working on the Sabbath. These laws remained in effect for over 4000 years until Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and commissioned the first Bible from a collection of Hebrew scrolls and stories of Jesus. Religious scholars of today claim that the Old Testament God decided to change his original requirements for animal sacrifice and for stoning-your-neighbor-to-death for disobeying His written laws. This God, rather than having his human scribes re-write the laws on new scrolls, he decided to have His only Son sent to earth to be tortured and murdered.
I believe there is a Creator God. I just believe that his personality is more like the compassionate Creator God of the early Native Americans. If He turns out to be the cruel Middle Eastern God, and He throws me in Hell for thinking He is more loving than He really is, then I’m willing to accept with that fate.

1. in the past,they might have been isolated and never heard of any other god
2.pear pressure, if all your friends and family believe in one religion, it hard to leave all the people behind.
3. spiritual ignorance. if your a low level spiritual person ,you will believe at the level of your spiritual attainment. but the higher you evolve....your knowledge of god will change
4.your just a plane [puts] and you will believe any stupid thing some one else says.

People do not believe in a "wrong" God. They believe in the God that they feel is right for them.

There is only one God. Most people choose to believe in the god that best fits what they would like to believe. Called in the Bible people "having itching ears." God as we would like him to be instead of how he really is.

There is nothing called wrong god and right god. God is only one for all. But people associate wrong atrribute and characterstics with God.
Reason is basically parents and tradition

They wouldn't. If there is such a thing as a "wrong" God, nobody would believe in that God while KNOWING it was the wrong God. They would only believe in the "wrong" God if they didn't realize it was the wrong God afterall.

Only the individual can decide if the god he or she chooses is right or wrong.

Because the individual does not know who the right God is yet.
