Since their are many POV's concerning the method or lack thereof for arrival at the "truth of god" here I would like to ask instead what god is and why they consider their POV to be correct.
The method of arriving at the truth of God?
Do you mean like one person will say you have to pray, and somebody else will say you have to read the Bible or the Koran, and then somebody else, such as a Deist, will say you have to study nature?
Is that what you're talking about?

religiosity
I find it interesting that throughout history all cultures have produced some sort of religion (as far as I know). This tells us that human beings are religious animals (not that there haven't always been unbelievers).
It's difficult to know what to make of this, since we have no one to compare ourselves to. If we met some alien civilization which was not and never had been religious, then we would know that religiosity was peculiar to humans. As it is, I think we have to assume that religiosity goes along with being conscious.
Consciousness is the feeling of incorporeality, as another poster on this forum has put it. That's why we find it easy to believe in the incorporeal.

Re: religiosity
I feel that I am incorporeal. My mind is incorporeal. It's not really, probably, but it feels that way.

Re: religiosity
I want to add that I got this idea from Parasomnium.
