If u r talking about the tangible or substantial existence of god as fascinatingly briefed in holy doctrine, then I don’t but if u r talking about the god in terms of altruism, empathy, fidelity that everyone has in their very corner of soul, then I do. Some people r very successful to explore it within themselves n some people r notoriously successful to kill it which was there since the genesis of their life. Personally I don’t feel like I have to go thru all those doctrine to understand that goodness unless I make another documentary. This simple meaning as cited by our great poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota is more than enough to find my god within myself. I am very enlightened by his simple meaning of god so never happened to fall back on those holy doctrines to search for its existence, neither compelled to go to temple to see it. With that being said, I have utmost respect for those who visit those holy shrine with pure heart n true sense of belief.  For me, god is that good feeling we have which impedes us from being sidetracked from moral ground n gives eternal strengths in the odd time to offset it. As a simple example, I grew up hearing; u must not steal because god is watching on u. That simply meant to culture a manner not to harm other. To answer your questions, believe in goodness not in real god. My definition of god is goodliness which is embedded somewhere subtly in human characters. we just have to explore it n reflect it in the action. So find it within u.

कुन मन्दिरमा जान्छौ यात्री, कुन मन्दिरमा जाने हो?
कुन सामग्री पुजा गर्ने, साथ कसोरी लाने हो?
मानिसहरूको काँध चढी, कुन देवपुरीमा जाने हो?

P.S. pheri bro haru lai lecture deko chahi hoina hai. That’s how I live n think, truly personal  

हाडहरूका सुन्दर खम्बा, मांसपिण्डका दिवार !
मस्तिष्कको यो सुनको छाना, इन्द्रियहरूका द्वार !
नसा-नदीका तरल तर, मन्दिर आफू अपार !
कुन मन्दिरमा जान्छौ यात्री, कुन मन्दिरको द्वार ?

मनको सुन्दर सिंहासनमा, जगदिश्वरको राज !
चेतनाको यो ज्योति हिरण्यमय, उसको शिरको ताज !
शरिरको यो सुन्दर मन्दिर, विश्वक्षेत्रको माझ।

भित्र छ ईश्वर बाहिर आँखा, खोजी हिड्छौ कुन पुर?
ईश्वर बस्तछ गहिराइमा, सतह बहन्छौ कति दुर?
खोजी गर्छौ हृदय लगाऊ, बत्ति बाली तेज प्रचुर ?

साथी यात्री बीच सडकमा, ईश्वर हिड्छ साथ
चुम्दछ ईश्वर काम सुनौला, गरिरहेका हात
छुन्छ तिलस्मी करले उसले, सेवकहरूको साथ ।

सडक किनार गाउँछ ईश्वर, चराहरूको तानामा
बोल्दछ ईश्वर मानिसहरूका, पिडा, दु:खको गानामा
दर्शन किन्तु कहिँ दिँदैन, चर्म-चछुले कानामा ।
कुन मन्दिरमा जान्छौ यात्री, कुन नव-देश बिरानामा?

फर्क फर्क हे ! जाऊ समाऊ, मानिसहरूको पाउ !
मलम लगाऊ आर्तहरूको, चहराइरहेको घाउ
मानिस भइ ईश्वरको त्यो, दिव्य मुहार हँसाऊ ।।
