True God should include everyone, but not to exclude.
“If god cannot be inclusive of everyone (even they don't believe in god), then that god is not that great and in peace.”
True God should include everyone in His mind. In fact, in terms of inclusiveness, God's salvation plan included everyone "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16".
The original plan was worldly ("loved the world") inclusive to begin with, and it is an open invitation to ALL but people have to make their choice of accepting the invitation. This is to say any one-to-one relationship must require two parties to take pro-active engagement in order for a relationship to work out. Any normal beings won't really enjoy a one-way relationship, but very much value an interactive relationship. No mind-balance beings would like to "force" another being to synthesize a relationship with him/her. The same thing God had in mind was that he loved the world, and open up his invitation for people with freedom to reconcile with Him.
If one "thinks if god ... god should..."; then one is defining the properties and character of God. I guess any subject can be placed under human definition cannot be the ultimate creator as the subject allows its creatures to define its character and properties. A true living God should able to speak out for Himself: "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. - Revelation 1:8"; "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. - Revelation 22:13".
In term of man and Heavenly Father (God Himself), the relationship indeed can be to a purity that through Christ (God Himself as well on the resolution of sin) and the power of Holy Spirit (God Himself as well in terms of spiritual guidance) that the goal of no separation between man and God can be reached - God's mind is our mind and our mind is God's mind. (Note. One God - the Father, the Son (Christ) & the Holy Spirit as Trinity)
