Theism is the belief in God. There are two main types: monotheism, which is the belief in one God, and polytheism, which is the belief is many gods. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all examples of monotheism, while Hinduism is an example of polytheism.

- Derived from the Greek words; theos (god) and theoi (gods).
- Theism can be defined as follows; Belief that there is a God, Belief that there are Gods, Godly.
- Theism can be subdivived into monotheism (belief that there is one God) or polytheism (belief that there is more than one God).
- There are also different conceptions of a God; theistic (a God that does intervene in the course of human affairs) or deistic (a God that does not intervene in the course of human affairs).
- A pantheistic God does manifest through every aspect of the universe as a conscious being (space, time, matter, energy, mass). Hence the term, "all is god, god is all".
- Contrary to popular belief, theism does not necessarily equate to religion. Buddhism, Jainism and Taoism are non-theistic religions. Furthermore, not all theists are affiliated with an organised religion.
