Theism

In the Philosophy of religion, the belief in God as unitary being. There are three major views of the role of God in the world in this context: proper Theism is the view that God is immanent? in the world, yet transcends? it; Deism is the view that God created the world but does not interact with it; and the view that the world is the whole or a part of God is called Pantheism or Panentheism respectively.

The monotheistic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are typically theistic.

More generically, the belief in one or more gods.
