Necessary requirement for believing in God

[Enterprise-D]

I'm afraid it has to be more sinister than that.
My most recent candidate for the necessary requirement for believing in God is this -

Holding the stance that there is nothing better in this Universe than to believe in God.

Although this seems to be a requirement based on several others, in our culture, it is possible to pick it up in just this form, ready-made.
Most of the other requirements listed so far were not exclusive to the belief in God, but this one is.

Of course, it's a bit circular and aprioristic - but apparently, this is just what is necessary.

This is actually somewhat insightful! You're right that this is based on several other requirements, the longevity of the belief depends entirely on its own supremity...the theistic "impossibility" as it were that there could be any better theory or commodity.

the requirements for believing in god is pretty much the same as the requirements as living in a dictatorship
