People,
If you pay closer attention to what David Briscoe is saying, you will see that he is not talking about a general sense of what he believes is everyone's belief in "God" but what he personally believes and that he calls "my God", which he repeats over and over again.
A beautiful little song that Whoopi Goldberg sings in the movie, Sister Act, has these lyrics (see if you can hear the music):
Nothing you could say
Could tear me away
From my God (my God)
Nothing you could do
'Cause I'm stuck like glue
To my God (my God, my God)
I'm stickin' to my God like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather, we stick together
I'm tellin' you from the start
I can't be torn apart
From my God
Nothing you could do
Could make me untrue
To my God (my God)
Nothing you could buy
Could make me tell a lie
To my God (my God, my God)
I gave my God my word of honor
To be faithful, and I'm gonna
You best be believing
I won't be deceiving
My God
As a matter of opinion, I think he's tops
My opinion is, he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste, to be exact
He's my ideal, as a matter of fact.
No muscle bound man
Could take my hand
From my God (my God)
No handsome face
Could ever take the place
Of my God (my God, my God)
He may not be a movie star
But when it comes to bein' happy, we are
There's not a man today
Who could take me away
From my God
Cool it down now, ladies.
There not a man today
Who could take me away
From my God
Give them some of that deep shoulder action.
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my God

Though I am not religious, and rarely go to church, I am touched by certain songs and pieces of music and this certainly is one of them.
I'm more willing to listen to a person talk about their personal experience of "spirit" than hear someone recite "scripture", and listen to someone singing "gospel" than reciting their belief in it.
Have a happy Sunday.
Thank you, very much.
