I think that is part of it - certainly, but I think it is also the recognition of how wonderful life and Nature are, how beautiful true love is........

If we focus on all the wonders of life, and thank G-d for them all, and acknowledge his obvious love for us, I think that is enough for him.

I don't believe it's important to believe in God, but just to believe in something. At the very least, having faith in something is good for our mental health. This doesn't mean I think atheism is wrong; beliving there is no god is something.

God is our creator. He created us and puts some rules to follow for our own benefits. He is our creator and He is the One who knows what will benefit us and what will hurt us. If we believe in Him it's for our own benefits and not for His, for He is self-sufficient. Our worship adds nothing to what He owns and our disbelief reduces nothing of what He owns.

Peace be with you,
Peace

Well this Sacred Hadith illustrates what I said above. Look at the highlighted part.

On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH) is that among the sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) is that He said:


O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one but himself. It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).

It is not mandatory or necessary to believe in GOD. You can and will exist without this belief and so will GOD.

Amen... God only provides us the grace to believe in Him so that we may begin to know Him and his love.

Belief is not the goal... love is the goal.

I have a certian amount of faith in my friends and family, because they've given me reason to have it.

So if atheism needs faith and theism needs faith by your defenition it's completely impossible to not have faith.
