There is no single "most powerful god" universally recognized across all religions, as concepts of divine power vary greatly depending on cultural, theological, and mythological contexts. However, several deities are often cited as supreme or most powerful within their traditions:
- Yahweh (God in Judaism, Christianity, Islam): Considered an eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent being with no rival or enemy, Yahweh is the sole creator and ruler of the universe in monotheistic Abrahamic religions
- Trimurti in Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva): This trinity represents creation (Brahma), preservation (Vishnu), and destruction (Shiva). Shiva is known for his cosmic destructive power, including the ability to end the universe, while Vishnu preserves and restores cosmic order. Together, they embody supreme power over the universe's cycles
- Ahura Mazda (Zoroastrianism): The supreme god representing wisdom and goodness, creator of the universe, opposing evil forces
- Other notable powerful gods in various mythologies: Zeus (Greek), Odin (Norse), Ra (Egyptian), and Kali (Hindu goddess of destruction and transformation) are also recognized for their immense power within their respective traditions
In essence, the "most powerful god" depends on religious belief systems. Monotheistic religions emphasize a singular, omnipotent deity, while polytheistic traditions often distribute supreme power among a pantheon with specialized roles. Some perspectives suggest that all supreme deities across religions share comparable omnipotence within their own cosmologies
