There are many of us out here in the USA who are monotheists and 
feel we have a right to claim we place trust and faith in the one
true God. The fact that the God we trust is not the God you trust,
and indeed we may not trust your god, does not diminish that claim.
No religion has a trademark on the concept of God. Were you to 
have access to a window on the inner thoughts of your fellow humans,
I believe you would find the overwhelming majority have their own
personal relationship to God and are in some stage of reconciling
their life to that relationship. If you have found a body of text
or teachings which embodies your own relationship to God to your
satisfaction, then by all means embrace it. Just remember that the
relationship of another who does not embrace those teachings is
not diminished by your choice.
