Well, I think about it this way. There are MANY Gods that people all over the world worship. Of those who believe, most people will fall into just 1 religious category and likely do not believe in the "other" Gods worshiped. They are "atheists" in regards to those "other" Gods because they do not believe in them. I just take it one God further .This says far more about your perception of the average forum member's maturity than it does about my intentions.
For the record, I posted this thread because I think the movie's premise is thought-provoking, and hoped that at least a person or two on this board might have something insightful to contribute to the discussion. I'm withholding my answer for the moment because as with every other topic, I find myself incapable of giving a simple answer (or, for that matter, a moderately complicated one). Plus I don't want to bore anyone to death if they're truly not interested in the discussion.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth....And in one Lord Jesus Christ, His only begotton Son,...Very God of Very God...and in the Holy Ghost, who with the Father and the Son are woshiped and glorified.
The Nicene Creed
I believe in the inspiration of the Bible (both the Old and the New Testaments); the creation of man by the direct act of God; the incarnation and virgin birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; His identification as the Son of God; His vicarious atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross; the resurrection of His body from the tomb; His power to save men from sin; the new birth through the regeneration by the Holy Spirit; and the gift of eternal life by the grace of God.
I issue a challenge to anyone who does not believe in the God of the Bible. Spend the next year and read the Bible from beginning to end.
How about the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, the Talmud, etc. too? We aren't talking about a Christian God necessarily here. If you are to read and believe in one, you should have read all of the others you can find as well. The problem is that we are raised by our parents (usually) to believe in one religion or the other. You are as likely to grow up a Christian or a Buddhist as you are to grow up rich or poor, Republican or Democrat, white or wheat.
People have believed in a higher power since the beginning of mankind and Christian belief would be that they are all "wrong." I find it sort of pretentious I guess to think that after almost 200,000 years of human existence, we've figured it out in the last 2,000 and everyone else has been/are wrong. I guess my beliefs are that I'm open-minded and that maybe we haven't figured it out yet.
There is nothing wrong with God, but there is really something wrong with men and women who want to kill innocent people in the name of God. They are all Muslims, the last time I heard.
