A lot of people in the society believe in God, but barely have knowledge of God. Does God help them?
Belief is better or knowledge of God? Or belief after knowledge of God?

The question arises:

1. Will god help people who don't have knowledge about God but believe in God?




2. Will God accept people who worship God according to their own faith/beliefs?




3. Can a person deny a knowledge written in religious books and begin worshiping god according to his own understanding. Will god help them?

1. Will god help people who don't have knowledge about God but Believe in God?

Yes of course.Sri Krishna says in the Gita :

10.11 Out of compassion for them alone, I, residing in their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the luminous lamp of Knowledge.

So God Himself will reveal the True Knowledge to them.

2. Will God accept people who worship God according to their own faith/beliefs?

Yes. Sri Krishna says in the Gita:

4.11 According to the manner in which they approach Me, I favour them in that very manner. O son of Partha, human beings follow My path in every way.

3. 
   

   Can a person deny a knowledge written in Religious books and begin worshiping god according to his own understanding. Will god help them?

   
   
   

   No. Sri Krishna says in the Gita:

   
   

16.23 Ignoring the precept of the scriptures, he who acts under the impulsion of passion,-he does not attain perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme Goal.

16.24 Therefore, the scripture is your authority as regards the determination of what is to be done and what is not to be done. After understanding (your) duty as presented by scriptural injunction, you ought to perform (your duty) here.

Hope these answers your queries.

The Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas Pandit in Uttar-Kand (Kaak Bhushundi and Garud samvad) says it clearly,

"jane binu na hohahi partiti, binu partiti na hohahi preeti; preeti bina na bhakti dridahahi, jimi khagpati jal kai chiknayi."

He says that the devotion becomes strengthened with the knowledge because by knowing someone the affinity in the relationship enhances.

Nevertheless, in the case of the divine gopis (uneducated cowherd girls), their knowledge about eternity becomes immaterial because of their unconditional transcendental love for Krishna. Our consciousness is not like divine gopis. So, the knowledge about God is also always advisable.

Belief in God is faith. Moses came down from the mountain struck by seeing God.

Knowledge comes after acting on beliefs, thus Knowledge of God is better than belief of God.

I am only answering the title question.

"Belief in God" is nothing compared to "having knowledge of God".

Belief in God might be considered as the first step in Hinduism whereas having knowledge of God is considered as the ultimate step.One who has attained that knowledge is said to have been liberated forever i.e. merged with God.

Belief in God in Sanskrit is called Astikya and a person who has that faith is called an Astika.

Astikya is considered as one of the few limbs of Niyama. Niyama again is one of the 8 limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

See the following passage:

The Yogis attain the Yoga when they become able to destroy these six
enemies by practising the accompaniments to Yoga. Yama, Niyama, Âsana,
Prânâyâma, Pratyâhâra, Dhâranâ, Dhyâna, and Samâdhi, these are the
eight limbs of Yoga. Yama includes Ahimsâ (noninjuring; non- killing);
truthfulness; Asteyam (non-stealing by mind or deed); Brahmacharya
(continence); Dayâ (mercy to all beings); Uprightness; forgiveness,
steadiness; eating frugally, restrictedly and cleanliness (external
and internal). These are ten in number.
Niyama includes also ten qualities :-- (1) Tapasyâ (austerities and penances); (2) contentment; (3) Âstikya (faith in the God and the
Vedas, Devas, Dharma and Adharma); (4) Charity (in good causes);
worship of God; hearing the Siddhântas (established sayings) of the
Vedas; Hrî or modesty (not to do any irreligious or blameable acts);
S'raddhâ (faith to go do good works that are sanctioned); (9) Japam
(uttering silently the mantrams, Gâyatrîs or sayings of Purânas) and
(10) Homam (offering oblations daily to the Sacred Fire). There are
five kinds of Asanas (Postures) that are commendable: Padmâsan,
Svastikâsan, Bhadrâsan, Vajrâsan and Vîrâsan.

Devi Bhagavatam 7.35

But, having the knowledge of God is considered the goal of Hinduism.

Mundaka Upanishad 3.2.9 says that one who has known the God becomes God himself.

He who knows the Supreme Brahman becomes Brahman Itself. In his family none devoid of the Knowledge of Brahman is born. He crosses
over sorrow, he crosses over sin. Freed from the knots of the heart he
becomes Immortal.

Similarly, other scriptures, including Vedas, say that having this knowledge of God is the one and only method by which one can become liberated.

VedAhametam purusham mahAntam (1)
Adityavarnam tamasah parastAt
(2)

Tam evam vidvAn amrita iha bhavati (3)
NAnyah panthAvidyate
ayanAya (4)

I have known the mighty Purusha (1) Who is refulgent as the Sun
beyond darkness. (2) Knowing Him thus in this life itself, one
transcends death (3). There is no other path leading to the attainment
of liberation. (4).

Taitiriya Samhita 3.12.17.

So, while having faith in God might be just the first step towards realization, having the knowledge of God is the final step.
