belief in God
Faith in deity
Belief in God is the conviction that a supreme being exists—a creator, sustainer, or governing intelligence behind the universe.
The phrase often appears in discussions of faith versus doubt: Her belief in God wavered after the tragedy.
It can range from casual cultural identification to deep personal conviction.
In American civic life, belief in God frequently surfaces in debates about oaths, pledges, and public morality.
