Strictly speaking, even today not everyone believes in God, although something less than half the world's population at least nominally believes in him.
Hebrew belief in 'Elohim (God), as the chief God of the Hebrew nation, began prior to 1000 BCE. Using the more common spelling, 'El was regarded as the chief god and father of the gods by many of the north-western Semitic nations around the area now known as Palestine. Some time early in the first millennium BCE, a new God, previously unknown among the north-western Semitic people and probably originating in Midian, was introduced to Judah and then Israel. This new God, Yahweh (bibl. Hebrew : YHWH) soon became the national God of Israel and Judah. Some time later, Yahweh was identified as the same God as Elohim (or El). Although other gods continued to be worshipped for centuries to come, This was the period when belief in God, combining the earlier separate deities Elohim and Yahweh, originated.
