Do you feel compelled to believe in God?
Do you feel belief is necessary?
I don't see it but perhaps you can explain it.
I do not feel compelled to believe in God, I believe in God because of 'what I consider' the evidence that God exists. There are times when I would rather not believe in God and times when I like believing in God, but I whether I like God or not, I continue to believe because I cannot disbelieve in a God I know exists because I would consider that foolish. It might also carry a risk, since I would be rejecting a God that exists.
As far as whether belief is necessary, I started a thread on that not long ago.
Does it really matter what people believe?
Here are some excerpts from that thread related to your question:
I wonder about this a lot. If people lead a good life and follow what Jesus taught, does it really matter if they believe in Jesus or in God?
I have my own ideas why I think it matters what people believe. I believe it matters that people know what reality is, the purpose for which they were created and where they will spend eternity.
If there is no afterlife, I do not think it matters that much what people believe as long as they follow the teachings of Jesus and live a good life, caring about other people and all living creatures and the environment. But will it matter what they believed in this life if there is an afterlife? That is the hundred-dollar question.

So I think that the main reason it matters if we believe in God or not is because this earthly life is only a small part of our total existence and what we do believe and thus do here will largely determine what our existence will be like for all of eternity.
