In this, the 'new age', more and more individuals are defining their lives by their spirituality. Whether God is a personalized amalgamation of several concepts or is defined within the precepts of an organized religion, the concept of God is central to the lives of a great many people. This 8 page paper asserts that the three religious orientations: Christianity, Judaism and Islam all affirm theism, or the belief that God exists, is the Creator of Man and his Universe and is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Theism forms the basis for all three religions. They also share the belief that there is One God (monotheism), and a rejection of the deist belief that God cannot intervene and, or, interact in the world. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
