Answer 2

Answer:

Theist

Explanation:

• Therefore, a person who believes in the existence of god is called a theist.
• A theist is a person who believes in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe.

There are different types of theism:

1. Monotheism

Monotheism is the belief in theology that only one deity exists.

2. Polytheism

Polytheism is the belief that there is more than one god.

3. Pantheism

The belief that the universe is equivalent to god, and that there is no division between a Creator and the substance of its creation

4. Deism

Deism is the belief that one God exists and created the world, but that the Creator does not alter the original plan for the universe, but presides over it in the form of Providence;

5. Autotheism

Autotheism is the viewpoint that divinity, whether also external or not, is inherently within 'oneself' and that one has the ability to become godlike.

For example: Jainism and Buddhism.

• The opposite of theist is atheist which means a person who lacks of belief in gods.
• An atheist doesn’t believe in a god or divine being. The word originates with the Greek atheos, which is built from the roots a- (“without”) and theos (“a god”).
• Atheism is the doctrine or belief that there is no god.
