God defined into four categories: The first category refers to religious significance that is the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe in monotheistic religions, or it could be called as "miracle", which is today 's point of view in terms of Christianity and Islam. However, in the pantheistic religion, it represents only part of the natural and realistic for control, regards to force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.

It seems that life-prohibiting universes are vastly more probable than life-permitting universes (Goodman and Blumberg 2002).

Some certain taboos such as homosexuality is more accepted in today’s moral point of view. Richard Dawkins believes that there is a moral Zeitgeist that continually evolves in society, generally progressing toward liberalism (Dawkins 2009, 226). As it progresses, this moral consensus influences how religious leaders interpret their holy writings. Thus, Dawkins states, morality does not originate from the Bible, rather our moral progress informs what part of the Bible Christians accept and what they now dismiss (Dawkins 2009,
