For me, regarding salvation only, belief in God is irrelevant.

I did say regarding salvation only. God is relevant to my life in many ways, this may not be so for others but that is not for me.

If your belief in God in this life is irrelevant regarding salvation and you agreed with the original post according to morality than how is God relevant at all?

" What is demanded of man is not, as some existential philosophers teach, to endure the meaningless of life, but rather to bear his incapacity to grasp its unconditional meaningfulness in rational terms" - V. Frankl.

That illustrates just one example of how God is relevant to my life.

But I disagree with you on this one.....
As do I..eventually (because I believe in reincarnation).

As it happens, My Grandfather (on my Dad's side) taught Metaphysics at Bruxelles University; my father was a metaphysician, and I am too.

I would say that metaphysics is the branch that deals with what is not tangible (and therefore provable).
