God most commonly refers to the deity worshipped by followers of monotheistic religions, whom they believe to be the creator and ruler of the universe.
Theologians have ascribed various attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".
