2025 GODS: 20 Predictions for the Most Worshipped God in 2025

#1 of 2025 Gods: YAHWEH (Judaism)

Yahweh, the God of Judaism, is one of the oldest deities still actively worshipped. Numbering around 15 million globally, adherents of Judaism honor Yahweh as the singular, all-powerful creator of the universe. Unlike Christianity, Judaism does not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, and Yahweh remains distinct in this monotheistic tradition. Jewish worship is characterized by practices like prayer, study of the holy scripture and observance of commandments. Yahweh’s influence extends deeply into global history, theology and philosophy.

#2 of 2025 Gods: JESUS CHRIST (Christianity)

In Christianity, Jesus Christ is central as the son of God and the savior of humanity. Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, comprising God the father (who is the same as Yahweh of Judaism), Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus’s teachings, crucifixion and resurrection form the cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

With about 2.4 billion adherents, Christianity remains the largest religion globally, with significant presence in the Americas, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. Worship includes prayer, the Eucharist and celebration of festivals like Christmas and Easter.

#3. ALLAH (Islam)

With over 1.9 billion followers, Islam venerates Allah as the one true God. Muslims follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as recorded in the Quran. The Five Pillars of Islam — faith, prayer, charity, fasting during Ramadan and pilgrimage to Mecca — are core practices that express devotion to Allah. Islam’s continued growth, especially in Africa and Asia, cements Allah’s place among the most worshipped deities in 2025.

#4 of 2025 Gods: BRAHMAN (Hinduism)

The third-largest religion globally, Hinduism has over 1.2 billion followers. At its philosophical core is Brahman, the ultimate reality that permeates the universe.

However, Hindu worship often focuses on specific deities like Vishnu, Shiva and Devi, each representing aspects of Brahman. Temples, festivals and rituals in India and the Hindu diaspora celebrate these deities, who embody the religion’s rich diversity.

#5 of 2025 Gods: THE BUDDHA (Buddhism)

While Buddhism does not worship gods in a traditional sense, Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, is deeply revered. His teachings guide over 500 million Buddhists worldwide toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. Statues and images of the Buddha are central to meditation and worship in temples across Asia and beyond.

#6 of 2025 Gods: AMATERASU (Shinto)

In Shinto, the indigenous spirituality of Japan, millions venerate kami, spirits or deities that inhabit natural and cultural phenomena. Among them, Amaterasu, the sun goddess, is particularly significant. She symbolizes light, life and the divine origin of Japan’s imperial family. Shinto rituals, festivals and shrines remain integral to Japanese culture.

#7 of 2025 Gods: AHURA MAZDA (Zoroastrianism)

Ahura Mazda, the Supreme God in Zoroastrianism, represents wisdom, truth and order. Though the Zoroastrian population is small (primarily situated in Iran and India), the religion’s historical influence on monotheism and ethics is profound. Ahura Mazda continues to be worshipped through prayers and fire rituals.

#8. DAO (Taoism)

Taoism, an ancient Chinese philosophy and religion, centers on living harmoniously with the Dao, the fundamental principle governing the universe. While the Dao itself is not the god that Taoists worship, their temples honor various deities and sages who serve as manifestations of the one Dao. Taoism’s emphasis on balance and nature resonates globally.

#9 of 2025 Gods: ODIN (Norse Paganism)

The revival of Norse mythology has brought Odin, the All-Father, back into cultural and spiritual prominence. Modern pagans in Europe and North America honor Odin for his wisdom, war prowess and discovery of the runes. Festivals and rituals inspired by ancient Viking traditions are increasingly popular.

#10 of 2025 Gods: ZEUS (Hellenism)

Similarly, Hellenism, the revival of ancient Greek religious practices, has gained followers. Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, is central to this tradition. Communities in Greece and abroad celebrate Hellenistic festivals and rituals to honor Zeus and other Greek deities.

#11 of 2025 Gods: PAPA LEGBA (Vodou)

In West African and Haitian Vodou, Legba is a key intermediary between humanity and the loa (spirits). As the guardian of the crossroads – the entrance to the spirit world – Papa Legba facilitates communication with the divine. Vodou ceremonies, music and dance play vital roles in Haitian culture and spirituality.

#12 of 2025 Gods: NGAI (African Traditional Religions)

In African traditional religions, the God called Ngai is central. Revered by the Kikuyu and Maasai peoples, Ngai is seen as the creator and sustainer of life. This monotheistic belief, deeply rooted in indigenous oral traditions, remains significant across Africa.

#13. TRIPLE GODDESS (Wicca)

Wicca, a modern pagan movement, honors the Triple Goddess, representing the maiden, mother and crone. With its focus on nature worship and ritual magic, Wicca has grown in popularity in Western nations. The Triple Goddess symbolizes the cycles of life and the moon.

#14 of 2025 Gods: INTI (Inca Religion Revival)

In South America, indigenous communities have revived the worship of Inti, the Incan sun god. Inti represents warmth, life and agricultural abundance. Rituals honoring Inti reflect a broader reclamation of pre-Columbian traditions.

#15 of 2025 Gods: GREAT SPIRIT (Native American Spirituality)

Many Native American tribes honor the Great Spirit, a creator embodying life and unity. This belief remains central to indigenous spirituality, guiding ceremonies, storytelling and community life.

#16 of 2025 Gods: PACHA MAMA (Andean Indigenous Beliefs)

Pacha Mama, the earth goddess, is deeply revered in Andean cultures. She represents fertility, agriculture and the mountains. Communities across the Andes continue to perform rituals offering thanks and seeking her blessings.

#17 of 2025 Gods: HUITZILOPOCHTLI (Aztec Religion Revival)

In Mexico, cultural revivals honor Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of the sun and war. His worship reflects a broader interest in preserving and celebrating Mexico’s pre-Columbian heritage.

#18. ANCESTRAL SPIRITS

Ancestor worship remains vital in many cultures, particularly in East Asia and Africa. Honoring the spirits of the deceased connects families to their heritage, and provides guidance and protection.

#19 of 2025 Gods: EIGHTH DYNAMIC (Scientology)

Scientology emphasizes spiritual enlightenment, with the Eighth Dynamic representing the supreme being or infinity. Despite controversies, Scientology continues to attract followers worldwide.

#20. FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER (Pastafarianism)

Though created as a satirical religion, Pastafarianism has garnered a following. This movement humorously venerates the Flying Spaghetti Monster, while advocating for secularism and the separation of church and state. Its widespread following highlights a unique intersection of faith and parody.

Growing Diversity in Religion

These 20 deities represent a colorful collage of human beliefs, encompassing ancient traditions, modern movements and evolving cultural identities. As the world grows more interconnected, the diversity of worship reflects both continuity and change in humanity’s quest for meaning and connection.
