Changes

As opposed to [[God]], people have worshipped '''other gods'''  throughout the history of humankind, usually in the practice of organized religion. The term "other gods" comes from the [[Ten Commandments]], where God said, "You shall have no other gods before me" ({{Bible ref|Exodus|20|3}}).

While the word "god" refers in a general sense to any deity that is or has been worshipped as part of a theistic belief system, when spelled with an upper-case "G," the term is normally referring to the God of the [[Abrahamic religions]], the One True God.

Interestingly, there are even godless religions, that is, religions that worship no gods as such. These include [[Buddhism]] and [[Taoism]], which worship no other god at all, at least not in the sense that [[God]] is defined. Rather than emphasizing worship, whether that of [[God]] or other gods, such religions tend focus on the development of truth, knowledge and individual enlightenment.
