The concept of God varies across religions, philosophies, and cultures. Here’s a concise breakdown of how different traditions define the divine:
1. Monotheistic Religions
Christianity: God is the omnipotent, omniscient, and loving creator of the universe, revealed as the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).
Islam (Allah): The absolute, indivisible One (Tawhid), merciful and just, with no physical form or associates.
Judaism (Yahweh): A singular, eternal God who covenanted with Abraham and revealed the Torah.
2. Eastern Traditions
Hinduism: Diverse views, from personal deities (e.g., Vishnu, Shiva) to the impersonal Brahman (ultimate reality).
Buddhism: Generally non-theistic; enlightenment (Nirvana) transcends a creator god.
Sikhism: One formless God (Ik Onkar), beyond gender, accessible through devotion.
3. Philosophical Perspectives
Deism: God as a “cosmic clockmaker” who created but does not intervene.
Pantheism: God is synonymous with the universe (e.g., Spinoza’s “God or Nature”).
Agnosticism/Atheism: Either uncertainty about God’s existence or rejection of the concept.
4. African Traditional Religions (e.g., Yoruba in Nigeria)
Olodumare (Yoruba): The supreme, distant creator, working through lesser deities (Orishas).
Key Commonalities:
Transcendence: Beyond human limitations.
Immanence: Present in creation (e.g., Christianity’s Holy Spirit, Hinduism’s Atman).
Moral Foundation: Often the source of ethical laws (e.g., the Ten Commandments).
