Theistic belief systems

Theistic belief systems are religions or philosophies that affirm the existence of one or more deities or divine beings. These beliefs often include the idea that God or gods have a significant influence on the universe and human life. Theistic traditions vary widely, from monotheism, which worships a single God (e.g., Christianity, Islam, Judaism), to polytheism, which involves multiple gods (e.g., Hinduism, ancient Greek religion). They typically involve practices like prayer, worship, and moral teachings, aiming to understand or seek a relationship with the divine. Overall, they form a core part of many cultures’ spiritual and moral frameworks.
