theists
They accept divinity
Theists are people who believe in the existence of a god or gods, particularly a personal god who created and intervenes in the universe.
The term contrasts with atheists (who reject belief in gods) and agnostics (who consider the question unknowable): Theists and atheists debated the existence of a creator.
A theist holds to theism.
