Atheism - God does not exist, if He does exist we cannot know anything about Him.
Notable Atheists: Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller, Woody Allen
Agnosticism - Cannot know if God exists. Really agnosticism is not a religious view of God but rather it is a description of an individual’s current state of lack of knowledge and indecision. And thus all the same characteristics of the atheistic viewpoint are the same.
Pantheism - A religious view that everything that exists is god. Hindu’s and mormons are pantheists. Hindus have as many as 330,000,000 gods.
Notable pantheists: Steven Hawking, Albert Einstein, Henry David Thoreau,
Panentheism - God comes from the world and the world comes from God.
Notable panentheists: Plato, Socrates, Latin American Rebels.
Finite Godism - Because evil abounds, God is finite (limited).
Notable Finite Godists: Zoarastianism, Freddie Mercury - Lead singer for Queen,
Polytheism: Multitude of gods, Mormonism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shintoism, Paganism, Buddhism, Confucianism.
Notable pantheists: Joseph Smith, George Harrison
Deism - God is known only through reason and nature. It is an individualistic belief system. It has all needed attributes with the exception that God is engaged with man.
Notable Deists: Voltaire, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin
Monotheism - God is the one who created all things and sustain all things. It hits all points needed for the existence of God
“Anyone who claims that all religions are the same betrays not only the ignorance of all religions but also a caricatured view of even the best known ones”. - Ravi Zacharias.
