1. (religion) A god who created the Universe; God.
   • 1611, The Holy Bible, […] (King James Version), London: […] Robert Barker, […], →OCLC, Romans 1:25:

     Who changed the trueth of God into a lye, and worshipped and serued the creature more then the Creatour, who is blessed for euer. Amen.

   • 2017 January 20, Elizabeth Williamson, quoting Donald J. Trump, “What We’re Seeing at Trump’s Presidential Inauguration”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 21 January 2017, Opinion‎^[2]:

     "Whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator."

   • 2025 September 6, Jonathan Turley, quoting Tim Kaine, “Tim Kaine’s Constitutional blasphemy”, in The Hill‎^[3]:

     “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes,” he said. “It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia (sic) law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. They do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So, the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.”
