In monotheistic thought, God is conceived of as the supreme being,
creator, and principal object of faith.[1] God is usually conceived of
as being omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and omnibenevolent as
well as having an eternal and necessary existence. God is most often
held to be incorporeal, with said characteristic being related to
conceptions of transcendence or immanence.[1][2][3]

Some religions describe God without reference to gender, while others
use terminology that is gender-specific and gender-biased. God has
been conceived as either personal or impersonal. In theism, God is the
creator and sustainer of the universe, while in deism, God is the
creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe. In pantheism, God is
the universe itself. Atheism is an absence of belief in any God or
deity, while agnosticism deems the existence of God unknown or
unknowable. God has also been conceived as the source of all moral
obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".[1] Many notable
philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of
God.[4]

Each monotheistic religion refers to its god using different names,
some referring to cultural ideas about the god's identity and
attributes. In ancient Egyptian Atenism, possibly the earliest
recorded monotheistic religion, this deity was called Aten[5] and
proclaimed to be the one "true" Supreme Being and creator of the
universe.[6] In the Hebrew Bible, the titles of God include Elohim
(God), Adonai (Lord) and others, and the name YHWH (Hebrew:
יהוה‎). The names Yahweh and Jehovah, possible vocalizations of
YHWH, are used in Christianity. In Judaism some of the Hebrew titles
of God are considered holy names. In the Christian doctrine of the
Trinity, one God coexists in three "persons" called the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Islam, the title God ("Allah" in the
Arabic language) is often used as a name, while Muslims also use a
multitude of other titles for God. In Hinduism, Brahman is often
considered a monistic concept of God.[7] In Chinese religion, Shangdi
is conceived as the progenitor (first ancestor) of the universe,
intrinsic to it and constantly bringing order to it. Other names for
God include Baha in the Baháʼí Faith,[8] Waheguru in Sikhism,[9]
Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism,[10] and Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in
Balinese Hinduism.[11]
