God

A god is an entity that is worshipped and offered submission to by the followers of a spiritual or religious belief system. The concept may include gender, in which case the feminine form is known as a goddess. Most gods are of a supernatural nature, with their empirical existences thus being unverifiable; examples of such gods include Uzaveh, the key Andorian god, and the god known in Federation Standard simply as "God," from three major Terran religions. Other gods are in fact entities that are empirically known to exist and whom non-believers simply classify as alien life-forms; examples of these gods include the Prophets, the non-corporeal life-forms found in the Bajoran Wormhole that are worshipped by a great many Bajorans, and the Founders, the species of shape-shifters that founded the Dominion and who are worshipped by the Vorta and the Jem'Hadar. (DS9 novel: Andor: Paradigm; DS9 episode: "Emissary"; et al.)

Q once portrayed himself as God to Jean-Luc Picard during a critical heart failure. (TNG episode: "Tapestry")

In the TNG novel: Q-Zone, a superbeing much like Q was featured, called The One. When Q asked 0 who "The One" was, 0 said "...he invented monotheism." This was hinting that The One was the God in three of Earth's biggest religions.
