When they ask, do you believe in god?, they simply mean, do you believe there's a god?. I don't see a reason to dig more deeply. That'd be i think just be playing with words.
So I’m sure that if it’s not that hard to understand the question, at least you can give me a definition of god? After all you must know what you’re believing in
I think when you are talking about god and people's belief about it, it shouldn't really matter what the truth of God is, but what the person debating you believes about god. So, when they ask do you believe in god? They simply mean, do you believe there is a being out there who controls our lives, and who has created this universe or others if there are. So, I think questions like, "what type of God do you believe in, or do your actions really support what you say?" are distracting.
"So it really is easier to reject any kind of label even though you might really sympathise with the ideas of christianity (or any other religion) because you will never agree with an ideology 100%, it just isn’t possible."
Can you please explain this? How does one sympathising with ideas of a religion make them not believe in religion 100%? Do you mean even though they believe in the religion, there'd always be an inner fight to reject some of the ideas. As you gave an example earlier, "I am christian, but don't believe in this."?
That's JP like argument. And tbh I don't like it.

Hello there my friend, I see your posts regularly, and I just wanted to say I do enjoy reading them, thank you Salvador.
While I’m here, I write about historical books, and ideology’s from the past.
They had a far different worldview than we do, you may enjoy this one:

"(or even academic papers with the thirty people name’s as authors)"
What's wrong with that?😂 Seriously?
Bro.. you explained falsifiablity in a paragraph better than I could in an essay.😭 Well done, bro 👏
