Default Religion doesn't make God, God makes religion.
Why does God need religions?

What denomination is God?

If God wanted followers of religion why make us human and displace us?

Why did God make so many religions?

If God is a God of Truth why are so many seeking Truth or just practicing faith?

Perhaps because it is the groundwork for spirituality.

God wanted followers of His law, but He wasn't going to force us, because that isn't what a loving Father in Heaven would do. God won't force us to choose any religion, and He is doing everything in His power for you to return to Him--if you wish. There are some that actually do not want to be in the presence of God, and those probably won't be in the presence of God.

Long answer for a short question.

Short answer: Free Will

God gave people free will to do as they please. He set the framework for religion, and people took over from that.

Because God isn't going to force Himself on anyone, so He allows people to find Him.

he didn't, people did.

practicing faith=seeking truth=seeking God, which is only natural. seems logical the creator would want to be acknowledged by his creation, especially those made in his own image.

If God didn't need religion then his 1st of Ten Commandments (in the Exodus) wouldn't be to worship him, would it? There would be no one to worship God if there were no religion.

And there were consequences if you didn't worship God, as can be seen in the books of Judges, Kings and Chronicles.

In that case, I hope NonTheism counts as a religion.

Plus, I don't think the Abrahamic God likes the idea of different religons: It clearly contradicts the 1st Commandment

I think based on the definition of God, he is in a denomination of One

This is an argument as opposed to: God doesn't make religion. Religion makes God. Right?
Completely subjective, I'm afraid.

God doesnt need a denomination ; being as He is God.

I don't believe God wants followers of religion, He wants followers of Himself, im not sure what you mean by 'displace us'.

God didn't, humans did.

What people seek or practise has nothing to do with God being a God of truth, He has, is, and always will be, nothing that people do changes God.
