Various theistic positions can involve belief in a God or "gods". They include:
- Henotheism, worship of a single god despite recognition of other deities.
- Monotheism, belief in a single deity.
- Panentheism, belief in a deity that subsumes and transcends the universe.
- Pantheism, belief in a deity that is considered synonymous with the universe.
- Polytheism, belief in multiple deities.
These positions are all contrasted by atheism, a lack of belief in deities.
