Is there a god and if not, does it really matter?

I had an interesting talk with a colleague of mine yesterday. We are both involved in a community where the talk of spirit is an ongoing one, and the continuance of life. We all seem to agree that there is indeed such a thing.
Our conversation then diverted into talking about god, and my colleagues opinion is such that it should not matter whether there is one or not. I think at this stage in my life I have to agree. The essence of our work though is to proof, as best we can that the energy of our spirit does live on.
Through most of my life, I was an atheist, I didn't realize until later in life, that my day dreams were more than just that. I always thought, I had a good imagination. Now I've found out, that my imaginary people, were more than just that.
The idea of God or Allah, or a Jesus, or Mohammad, or Buddha...or of whom ever one chooses to believe in, is generally speaking a comforting one to the person thinking of that. To me it's all irrelevant. It may change at some point, but I do know I will never be a follower of a person who walked on this earth.
I have never been able to understand how people are able to glorify other people, like Jesus or Mohammad. Perhaps one day I'll understand.
I currently believe in humanity, and the energy we all exchange. I believe we are all in this life together, not as individuals each in their own corner, but as a community.
This coming weekend is fortunately a quiet one for me, but I'll be travelling with a fellow medium to see them work. It's nice not to always have to be working, but to see others work.
