The Abrahamic religions
Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe in the same God, but Muslims, and to some degree Jews (see below), visualize God in strictly monotheistic terms, whereas most Christians believe that God exists as a Trinity.
Yahweh is the Biblical name for God used by ancient Jews.
Adonai, Eloheynu and Hashem are some of the names of God used in modern day Judaism. The Hebrew word "elohim" is also used to refer to God in the Torah (and the Old Testament), and this refers to a plural nature of God. However, Jews hold to a slightly more monotheistic view of God than Christians. They reject Jesus Christ as a false messiah, and do not assign any deity to him.
Historically, Christianity has professed belief in one deity, three divine persons (the Trinity), that make up one deity or Godhead, known as "God". (See Athanasian Creed.)
Thus, most Christians are trinitarian monotheists, although there have been dissenters; see the articles Arianism, Unitarianism (History), Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Jehovah's Witnesses for examples.
Most of these unitarian groups believe or believed that only God the Father is a deity; Latter-day Saints believe that the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit are three distinct deities.
Two smaller faiths that don't neatly fit into any of the categories of Abrahamic religions. Rastafarianism worships Jah and the Baha'i Faith also worships the same God as Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Akamba mythology
Egyptian Deities
Egyptian deities often have physical forms that incorporate animal forms. For example, Anubis has the body of a human, but the head of a canine.
Finnish pre-Christian deities
There are very few written documents about old Finnish religions; also the names of deities and practices of worship changed from place to place.
The following is a summary of the most important and most widely worshipped deities.
Ukko, the principal deity, god of heaven and thunder
Kitchen Gods
In addition to the gods listed above, there are several minor Gods
spoken of in current western culture and may be taken more or less
seriously. These are commonly called Kitchen
Gods.
