Belief in God

Various theistic positions can involve belief in a God or "gods". They include:

• Henotheism, worship of a single god despite recognition of other deities.
• Monotheism, belief in a single deity.
• Panentheism, belief in a deity that subsumes and transcends the universe.
• Pantheism, belief in a deity that is considered synonymous with the universe.
• Polytheism, belief in multiple deities.

These positions are all contrasted by atheism, a lack of belief in deities.
