Okay well i have never really had a 'religion'.
I went to a non denominational school.
Even though i have only been to church on special occasions, i was brought up as Protestant Christian.

I never really new what being a protestant meant or what i was supposed to believe in so as i grew older i would call myself a protestant less and less.

Instead i decided not to follow any religion.
i fully believe in God and believe it was he that mad the universe and everthing in it but i do not believe that god was the maker of religion so i choose not to be apart of any Mankind made religion.

My main beliefs are that ALL manmade religions in this world ALL have the same God. The god of the muslims is the same god as the christians and so on. I can understand i might be offending a lot of people when i say these things but it is truelly what i believe in.

Every single human being on this planet has the same ONE god.


Okay the question is this....

Is there any group or society that has the same beliefs as i do? or even near to my beliefs?
 
You are incorrect so it is likely that very few people share your beliefs. They many have similar beliefs if you are talking about just the Abrahamic faiths but otherwise I don't think there are any.

All religions do not worship the same God. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share the same God but others do not. Some religions are polytheistic and recognize many gods. The Asatru, Hindus, Wiccans and other Pagans all have different gods and goddesses.
 
Universal Unitarians are close. Funny though. They are very tolerant of every religion except Christianity.
 
Unitarian, but hold on to your individuality... Don't concern yourself with a label for your beliefs.

"Truth is one, the sages speak of it by many names." - Rig Vedic of Hindu philosophy.
 
According to Muslims, anyone can go to heaven if they live a life of peace and morals.

If you are kind to people, fair to people, show respect, treat everyone with respect, help people that are poor, give to the needy, hospitality, etc etc good values you can earn a place regardless of your faith. And yes it does not matter what your religion is, however, Muslims believe it is only up to god to decide who goes to heaven and who doesn't as human beings are not the creator and they have no jurisdiction to make such a decision or such an assumption.

Every person is on their own to live a life that will gain them permission into paradise. Islam is a way of life. It is your submission to your creator. There is no human being alive today that can tell you to do this or that will happen. No one has the authority to tell you that you will be granted heaven or hell. This will depend on your creator and how you live your life. No human has the authority to tell you otherwise. This is what people of the Islamic faith believe. If you feel this matches your belief, then you can look at the Islamic faith.
 
What is Islam?


The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word Islam itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person, or a place, a tribe, a mountain or a river. Nor is the name just another –ism among the many that exist in the world today. The Arabic word Islam means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship, Allah (God in Arabic). A Muslim is the one who submits or surrenders his will to Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of God re-expressed in its final form.


Did you know Allah is not the 'God of Muslims'?

Many non-Muslims have come to incorrectly believe that Allah is the ‘God of Muslims’ – A deity somehow different from the God of the other faiths. It should be emphasized that the term “Allah” has no implied meaning at all of an Arabian god, a Moon god or even a Muslim god. Muslims are not claiming any exclusiveness when they say "Allah". However Allah is simply the Arabic Name of the one Almighty God; the same name by which Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians, refer to God. The Allah comes from the term ‘al-ilaah’. Al is the definite article in Arabic, equivalent to ‘the’ in English, while ilaah means ‘a deity or god’. So Allah means The God. This is beautifully articulated in the first pillar of Islam which is to believe that God is One, in Arabic it would be, "La ilaha illallah" meaning "There is no god but God"

Did you know Islam isnt a new religion started by Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)?

Islam is not a new Religion started by the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) around 1400 years ago.It is the same truth proclaimed by all the Prophets who came before him, right from the time of Adam.Muslims believe in all the Prophets like (to name a few)Abraham,Moses and Jesus(peace be upon them all) and the divine revelations like the Torah(Jewish Holy Book) and the Bible(Christian Holy Book). But these books have been interpolated by so-called "saints" or "holy men" over a period of time to suit their whims and fancies for example, Pork is prohibited in the Torah and the Bible but these have been iterpolated and made into acceptable things over a period of time.

The Holy Qur'an clearly states-
This Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than God; On the Contrary it is a Confirmation of (Revelation) that went before it. And a fuller explanation of the Book Wherein there is no doubt from the Lord of the Worlds. Holy Qur'an (Chapter 10, Verse 37)
 
In part you are correct. Adam and Eve were given certain laws and ordinances to follow and given the truth that they needed. Same for Noah. Most religions believe that there was an origin by God of Humanity. Most religions have a flood theory. That is where things go astray. When humanity multiplied so far as to leave their homeland and separated to the four corners of the world. They all took that religion with them, sort of. Then people changed it to soot their needs. All claiming to be inspired of God. The real question is not what religion matches your belief system but what does God think you should believe. Why would he start religion for mankind just to let it be changed by the masses or the hierarchy? Is he a laissez-faire God or does he really want your well being? And if He really cares for you as a person as most religions claim He does, then he must be approachable.

Then approach him. He doesn't care how eloquent you say it. All he cares about is that you approach him in humility and with sincerity.
 
Religion is just different beliefs about God. You could even make up your own religion!
 
I suggest taking the Belief-O-Matic quiz on belief.net.
This asks you 20 solid questions that assess your beliefs and recommends several religions.
You seem to support Monotheism in general, but more specifically, you might find that your beliefs run parallel with various progressive and reformed denominations of Christianity, Islam or Judaism. Perhaps liberal Quakers, Unitarian Universalists, or mainline Protestants, like Episcopalians.
