Which religions has the belief that God is all-loving,all-knowing, all-present etc.?
I'm not asking on your opinion or the truth of whether their God exist or if the God really are those things, I'm just asking for the strict knowledge of which religion believes that of their God.

It is a difficult question.
Probably most Christians, Jews and Moslems will believe this of their religion; however, the problem is deeper than a surface read.
Take Hinduism: here, there is aspects of God, some of which are impersonal (all-loving/knowing/present) and some of which have personal form (e.g., a being that can exist and even communicate with finite form).
In Judaism, the Kabbalah talks of an infinite form using the term Ayn Sof, which literally translates into English as: "without boundary/limit". The Kabbalah defines this as the internal nature of God; contrastingly, that implies a finite external nature which the universe is part of.
The problem is one of value: everything has no value because there is no known sum of each thing that mounts to everything. For all we know, there may be no limit to the universe or to the multiverse or to anything from which these things sprung. Therefore, what finite value does the term "all" have?
In our finite world, "all" means each unit of a given type, e.g., "all computers", "all people" etc. If "all knowledge" is a collection of finite elements, then that implies a finite universe. What could encapsulate such a large amount of data?
Perhaps a larger finite entity could encapsulate a smaller universe in the same way that a large computer could model the weather. In which case, we are talking about a larger system analysing a smaller system found within it. However, this would still be a finite entity: all-present within a smaller entity existing inside it.
Another possibility has been put forward as to how something could be all-knowing yet be nothing. Jiddu Krishnamurti (an Indian Philosopher of the 20th Century) postulated that only an non-entity---i.e., that has no form, no discernible pattern of motion, no permanent qualities---could relate to a finite universe by dint of being in-contact with every aspect of it without being influenced by it. In the same way that you can mould formless clay around a metal object to create a mould of that object, in this model, the universe sits within a formless void that is infinite, silent (yet of tremendous energy) and in contact with everything within the finite universe.
How this model differs from the previous idea of a computer within a computer is twofold:
1) The void has no form of it's own (thus no expression)
2) The void is truly without limit/boundary, thus fulfilling the Kabbalah's conception of the internal nature of God.
Mathematicians have also created a way of expressing things as a diminished form of a perfect void. In this system, infinity has a value: zero. This is called Zero mathematics. Here, zero is considered the only value for which all values have a constant relationship to. Objective matter is thereby considered a corruption of the zero state (as opposed to normal math where objects are often modelled via additive synthesis.
In chemistry, we say that the universe has gone from a state of formlessness (pure plasma) to a variagated universe in which as time passes, greater crystalisation occurs. This event---form going from high energy/no form, towards low energy/high form---is measured as increasing entropy. Entropy is similar in concept to zero maths in that greater division/crystallisation is thought of as an increase in disorder. Normally, we think of order as increased structure, rules, certainty etc. In entropy however, a high energy/low form state is thought of as order; whereas, a low energy/high form state is considered disorder.
Other philosophers have noted this: in particular, Bruce Lee (the martial artist). Having studied philosophy at university, Bruce Lee stated: "the highest form is no form", and encouraged his students to be reactive against martial art forms and rhythms: to embrace broken rhythm.

That would be non-Calvinist Christians.
God loves all of us. He doesn't stop loving us when we turn away from him. The prodigal Son parable told us that.
When we hurt others, we separate ourselves from God. He doesn't try to punish us for our transgressions. He's very forgiving, but we can't serve evil and stay connected to God.
Most Christian denominations and branches see God as all loving. That includes the church that Martin Luther started. John Calvin created a harsher theology. He believed it was more important to emphasize the sovereignty of God even to the extent of making him seem unloving. That is a false theology. Less than half of Protestants follow Calvin's theology.

Which religions has the belief that God is all-loving,all-knowing, all-present etc.? Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.
Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)Moon 2)Inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)In lake Baikal in Russia 4)In Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets.
Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies very fast; deceived people will say that "Christ is here; Christ is there". Sometimes, he wears blue robe over left shoulder while red robe is underneath. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people to believe that he can do mountain moving and resurrection (using holograms); fire from the sky is easy (considering the gases from pollution in the atmosphere).
Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). Police will microchip and isotope ray people on the highways. Microchipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, 666 is given. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell.
If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you. Burn documents because they're from Satan. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

The view that God is "all-loving" is not Christian. Yes, God is love, but God is also holy, righteous and just. God hates sin, for example, and those who sin against Him will be called to account.
God’s love is a love that initiates; it is never a response. That is precisely what makes it unconditional. If God’s love were conditional, then we would have to do something to earn or merit it. We would have to somehow appease His wrath and cleanse ourselves of our sin before God would be able to love us. But that is not the biblical message. The biblical message—the gospel—is that God, motivated by love, moved unconditionally to save His people from their sin.
Having said that, I suspect that religions like the Bah'ai Faith believe that God is an "all-loving" and "all-forgiving deity and that there is no such thing as sin that has to be accounted for. But that is not the Christian view.

Christianity teaches that the God of the Holy Bible is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent, eternal & personal.

New Age would be one of them. My understanding is that Silver-Fire of the Holy Spirit is
the Mother-Goddess. Gold-Fire is our Father-God. Pink-Fire inspires unconditional love.
Lemon Yellow-Fire represents all-knowledge. Black Diamond-Fire signifies He/She is all-present.
______
This Holy-Fire is the same energy that appeared to the Apostles on Pentecost-Day.
