It’s true that belief in deities varies widely and is often deeply personal. For many, the existence of God is based on personal experiences, feelings, or the sense of a greater purpose in life, rather than empirical evidence. Additionally, cultural influences, upbringing, and community can play significant roles in shaping beliefs.
People may also find meaning in religious narratives, moral frameworks, and the sense of belonging that a faith community provides. While some may seek scientific or empirical evidence for the existence of a deity, others might argue that spirituality and faith operate in realms that transcend empirical measurement. Ultimately, the question of a god’s existence often encompasses various dimensions—philosophical, emotional, and experiential—that are difficult to quantify.
