God's presence in the world? I'm confused about my beliefs in God? For believers and non-believers alike?

Wow. You need a dictionary. And also a book on logic.

"Belief", not "faith" is the acceptance as true of something which cannot be proven. "Faith" is the trust which we have in a person so that we believe what he/she says is true. For the Christian that faith is in Christ.

"Religion" is the man-made response to the beliefs we hold concerning God. There are many different religions because people see God in different ways. It is impossible for any person or any religion to understand the totality of God.

Just because you do not believe something does not mean that it is a "hoax".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
