1) I didn't use the word "God", I used the word "belief". Big difference.
2) When did I ever claim that religions without a single God are the same as religions with one? All I ever claimed is that both have beliefs.
Finally, your claim about God being irrelevent to religion is not substantiated by the fact that some religious don't have a "God". They still have supernatural beliefs to some extent, which gives them something in common with the supernatural belief in God common to western religions. Thus God is definitely relevant, even when talking about religions like Hinduism or Sikhism.
