theism
Belief in deity
Theism is belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially a personal god who created and intervenes in the universe.
The term contrasts with atheism (no belief in gods) and deism (belief in a creator who doesn't intervene).
Her theism was central to how she understood the world.
