What's a Theist??? ?

Question

I know what an Atheist is, but what is a theist?

Answer 1

Theists believe in supreme being(s) (god or gods). The person that answered "theist is believing in one god" is wrong. A pantheist believes in several gods -as in Hinduism, a monotheist believes in one god -as in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Atheist is a person who believes god or gods are an imaginary entity that does not really exist. As a general note (theo-) means god; therefore, theology is the study  of, or science of "god". Theocracy, using religion to control or rule a nation (as in Iran, or Saudi Arabia) ...and so on.

Answer 2

It is someone who believes in God - the opposite of being an atheist. It doesn't specify which God you believe in, just God.

I've been a Christian since 1971. It is the best and most incredible thing that happened to me.

Answer 3

The opposite. The one who does believe in some deity/ies.

Answer 4

a- without

theism- religious belief system

drop the a- and what do you get?

Answer 5

a ticklish person

Answer 6

someone who believes in a higher being  

Answer 7

Actually, contrary to what someone told you, a theist is someone who believes in one God. Not multiple Gods. That would be a pantheist. A pantheist is also considered an atheist because atheist literally means "non theist." And a pantheist is not a theist.

Answer 8

A person who believes in mythology.

Answer 9

It's the exact opposite of an atheist.  Theism is the term for believing in God(s).  A theist beleives in the existence of God.
