Hi Rita,
Whether you believe in God or not is not an issue to Him because
Just because we buy from vendors the fruits and vegetables, we don't remember that they have a provider behind the vendors. Vendors only do the job of plucking and transporting. The glory of God is this -- humans can know what a mustard seed is made up of -- yet cannot duplicate it -- a seed which can sprout, becomes a mustard tree, and then leaves behind many mustard seeds in which the remembrance of all the future mustard trees remains PROTECTED.
When I began to think "I am not bothered about how people view me" -- wow, it was a great freedom instantly.
Whether you believe in God or not is not an issue to Him because
- 1) Almost half of the population do not believe in God, and
2) The other half who say they believe in God actually do disservice to Him by believing God-dishonoring doctrines such as eternal hell-fire, omnipresence ... etc.
