One of the most common gods is a great creator and supreme god who is usually mysterious. It is noted that the beings at all levels show a relationship to the environment of the individual peoples. It is also noted that there appears to be beliefs that are shared by Christianity, although with variations. There seems to have been a common origin of all religions, although many changes have been made over the centuries.
