I was defining belief as:
"Contemporary analytic philosophers of mind generally use the term “belief” to refer to the attitude we have, roughly, whenever we take something to be the case or regard it as true." Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
If you believe a god exists:
Define it.
Explain why you believe it.
Provide evidence for it.
It still doesn't follow from your definition of belief that I ought to do either of the things you have said.
Are you requesting that I do them because you want to know? Then phrase it as a request.
