I agree, 
"Do you believe in God?"
Is a thin question
With so many different definitions of that word,
"God"...
When you answer it
There is an inclination 
To find common ground
With the person asking you
Because we want to agree
We want to feel the same
And we will hide so much 
Of what makes us different
To achieve agreement
And then we gang up on those
Who we could not agree with
It becomes 
Us 
Versus 
Them

And you see it 
It turns into wars

I feel,
You can ask a similiar question...
That will get at something much deeper
And will promote our differences...

"What is your purpose?"

You see...
That question
Allows us to be completely different
And 
Gives each party an opportunity
To respect each others' answers
Ask each other in 5 years
That same question
I bet, they are different answers
The fact that purpose changes
Would seem to suggest
That on some level
Our beliefs DO shift
Belief in a creator is 
Striving to understand
That which is unknown
Not isolated from 
Belief in yourself 
And your purpose

As your purpose shifts
Did your beliefs not shift with them?
Is not one tied to the other
On some existential level?

My journey in life started with 
Roman Catholicism
And 
Is currently in the realm of
Agnostic Theism

My purpose has shifted many times
As did my beliefs
I have had to deal with that
As will you
