How certain are you about the God you believe in? [View all]

For believers. However you want to explain it (scale of 1 to 10?) how certain are you about the nature and description of the God you believe in and pray to.
I am not asking about you belief in God in general, I am accepting that you believe. But we often talk here about the different beliefs people have. So I am curious about when people go to church or temple or a mosque and pray, do they feel they have a good idea about God, as far as they can know about him?

Not flame bait, and I hope the non-believers don't chime in with snark, I am just curious about this.
