father god

Supreme heavenly patriarch

Father god refers to a supreme male deity conceived as a paternal figure—creator, protector, and authority over humanity.

The concept appears across many religions: Zeus as father of gods and men, the Christian God addressed as Father, the Norse Odin called Allfather.

The term emphasizes the deity's role as originator and caretaker of creation, often implying both loving provision and stern judgment.

The ancient peoples worshipped a father god who ruled from the heavens.
