All descriptions go astray regarding God, but they are still helpful, in getting us towards him. These are thousand and one shields or weapons, against dark magic. It's a prayer that protects the soul with armor of lights.

A worthy god would understand that believing in him/her/it/them is a huge leap of faith, and therefore should not be a requirement for assignment in the afterlife. He/she/it/they would reward one based on one's deeds - not whether or not one blindly believes in him/her/it/them.
Sooooooo, not Allah.

This would only be true if he was not a living being connected and with all things. Otherwise, disbelieving in him would be a way to justify following caprice and turning away from duty and turning away from his guidance.
That can't be accepted.
You sacrifice when you give something of yourself. Jesus sacrificed when He gave His life, and He is God, in the Christian understanding.

God is the creator of all things and God is just who and what He is with no apologies to anyone.

So then what would a worthy God do? What attributes would such have?

God will judge us based on our works and imo one of those works is choosing to believe imo.

When I said ""God is the creator of all things and God is just who and what He is with no apologies to anyone.""
I was not speaking about justice, even though God is just.

Are you of the conviction that all people know God exists and is just?

The Omniverse: Totality, Essentiality, Eternity, Ubiquity and Potency
Humankind: Utility, Generosity, Sagacity, Sovereignty and Unity
The Omniverse has, is and will ever exist. I am not impressed by its cornerstones of divinity. However, humankind's extropic divine qualities are fleeting in most regards. I believe the stage of our human civilization is somewhere between sovereignty and unity, as we have mastered utility, generosity and sagacity very well. We as humans are able to create divinity from words to actions that become more words.
For me the first requirement would be for him to love and respect me so much, that he would not want me to degrade myself by groveling at his feet in a way that I wouldn’t ask of my dog

A person doesn't choose to believe. He either does or doesn't. To say you choose to believe means you actually don't, but have decided to hedge your bets against a nasty afterlife.

I don't know what a god is, what attributes it has or what attributes would make it worthy - and it seems nobody does. But I'd agree to follow an experts consensus. Notify me when there is any.
