I've been told lately (on Facebook, anyway) that I would qualify as a nondenominational Catholic.  Take that as you will, but I already identify as an Anglo-Catholic.  We're a minority in TEC since most of the Anglo-Catholics have gone to the ACNA now, but joining the ACNA for me is about as likely as converting to Roman Catholicism.

I didn't realise how old this thread was Smiley While I still like my answer back in '15, and I'm still an atheist if I had to pick a standard religious belief, rather than generalised spirituality, I'd be Muslim if I wasn't atheist. My Muslim friends have tried and if anything they've defined a 'god' in probably the most 'okay, I can go with this' manner, but I'm just not there.

How is the God of Islam described differently from the God of Judaism and Christianity?

My understanding of Islam is very elementary, but if my knowledge is correct then Muslims worship the same exact God as the other two religions.

Well, in most iterations of Christianity, God is described as triune, which is considered shirk in Islam

The Islamic god also appears to be less personal than the Jewish one (at least in orthodox conceptions), which is why he can only be known from natural signs (and not represented in pictorial form) and spoken about in parables

Fair enough. So then why is it generally agreed that Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship "the same God"? The only real similarity is that these religions are monotheistic, but otherwise their perceptions of God and His relationship with man and nature are very different.
