According to those who have Personally know Thich Nhat Hanh since He was ordained He has always believed in God so I presume it wasn't something He added on to gain followers....

I should probably have omitted the "irrelevant" portion of the excerpt that I quoted.
I just corrected that.
However, since the Buddha maintained such a steadfast "Noble Silence" when asked about "God", Thich Nhat Hanh's inclusion of "God" in his "Buddhist teachings" remain questionable at least to me. I strongly agree with Gem on this point. In my opinion, Buddha wisely avoided all the theorizing about the nature/existence of "God" in his teachings. There are already enough religions that do this.
