Godism

Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church refers to his beliefs as Godism. The term may be in use by other marginal religious groups as well. The word is a derivation of God and "ism" meaning a belief system. In other words, a belief system centered around God.

Godism is also an English translation of Din-i-Ilahi, the syncretic beliefs espoused by the Mughal Emperor Akbar of India. Although it was proclaimed the official state religion, it never spread beyond the court of the Emperor and died with him in 1605.
