I'm not religious, but this is the best universal answer I've ever found. Kinda sad, considering it's source was a Sci-fi show, albeit a great one.
If I take a lamp and shine toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume the light on the wall is God, but the light is not the goal of the search, it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the revelation upon seeing it. Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God is the by-product of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished. Not understanding that it comes from us, sometimes, we stand in front of the light and assume we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do. Or we turn to look at our shadow and assume all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose - which is use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty and all it flaws, and in so doing, better understand the world around us.

THE SUPREME ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE or THE GREAT MYSTERY are 2 NAMES which I have heard which best describe who GOD actually is.
the more people you ask the more varied and complex answers you will receive depending on the person's personal views.
even in the same Religious Belief System it would be hard to find two ( or more ) people who would exactly agree who or what GOD is, for each person has their own individual idiosyncrasies.

Many ask this questions.
To be fair is no wright answer...depends how we all see it like individuals.
I am a christian...so for me God is - the creator of sky and earth, of all seen and unseen, flora and fauna, people...
The supreme entity if you want.
Now not to many people believe in God but even if I am a christian I don't disagree.
We're all entitled to an opinion.
Read the old Testament you might understand more about God.
