It does not matter what religion you are, so long as your conscience guides your words and actions. You are a child of God so long as you see and love every human with the eyes and heart of God. 'We are all reflections of God' means we are all reflections of his image — which is THE LIGHT OF LOVE. God is NOT a man; for God is an all-encompassing entity made up of more waves than all of humanity, the entire universe, and all universes within it. Many people will claim that the meaning of God being in the image of man means that He looks like a human. This is not true. It only means that the universe within us is a reflection of Him. Our heart resonates with His heart (the Cosmic Heart of the Universe), and each of our organs resonate with a planet in His universe.
Your faith is your conscience, and your conscience is your faith. You cannot have faith without a conscience, but you can have a conscience without faith. Some people claim to be religious but have no conscience, while some people without religion are very much aware of their conscience. However, it is OK to renounce allegiance to one religion, but you CANNOT renounce your allegiance to God. In fact, that would be the greatest crime against your soul -- and conscience. Why? Because to deny God's existence is to deny His miracles.
It is very ignorant and arrogant to assume that everything in the world was created without intelligent thought. For those who able to use their reasoning and conscience should be able to see that everything we see in nature was designed according to a divine plan by divine design from a divine mind. Even though we think we see more evidence of the devil and his workings around us, we cannot say there is no evidence of God. A sharp mind does not need a science textbook to understand medicine or the workings of the universe, for all this was engraved in nature. All one needs to do is OBSERVE. Every single seed, plant, insect, human being, season, and weather condition was designed to serve a purpose. The sun was designed to give us light during the day for us to work, move around or create things -- while the night under the lamp of the moon was designed to signal for us rest.
Therefore, a religious label does not define your character or validate your spiritual worth or character. Your good works and deeds do. This is the universal program found in all religions across the world.
1. To believe in one source for all of creation. I like to call it "The Creator" or the "Cosmic Heart".
2. To believe in one common vibration that resonates with, and binds, all of creation.
3. To believe in the one point of Absolute Truth -- from which all things come and shall return.
4. TO LOVE. To be a reflection of the light and love of the Absolute Truth -- which is composed of the purest vibrations of compassion, wisdom, forgiveness, and love. These four virtues combined are what create our conscience. Our conscience is the lamp inside our hearts. It stays illuminated only when we remove the veils of darkness that cover it, or distract it from truly shining.
God is TRUTH and LIGHT, and only through your conscience do you connect to him. Any person who does not use their conscience is very disconnected from God. Because again, the language of light can only be decoded by the heart. God's religion is love and the light of love sees no walls. Thus, my religion is also love, and isn't love the intention that led Him to create the universe into the beautiful miracle that is?

The world citizen is a small leaf on the giant tree of life. They do not see a difference between the branch they were born on and the remaining branches on the tree, because they understand well that we are all connected to the same roots. The world citizen sees each section of the world as part of their arm, leg, eyes, and heart. They do not class, contain or separate themselves or their identity by ethnicity or religion -- because they see their existence as a small part of a greater whole. When asked about their religion, the world citizen simply replies: 'My heart.' -- Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun
