God does not need you to go through a whole bunch of ceremonial bullshit to prove your devotion. He already knows where your devotion lies. But the truth of the matter is you will praise that for which you are devoted.

If God exists, he might be interested in whether or I generally did the right thing in my dealings with others.

Yes, He might be interested in how you treat others....no, scratch that. He IS interested in how you treat others. He says that how you treat others is how you are treating Him. (See Matthew 25.35-46)
But your relationship with people is not the ONLY thing He is interested in. He is also interested in your relationship with Him. (See John 1.12)
