It seems that most people follow a set of rules defined  by the culture in which they live, often defined by their the dogma of their their religion and it's concept of god (by any name).  Thus, their view is limited by that dogma.  The Christian Lord's Prayer begins with "Our Father who art in Heaven" which indicates that their God is separate from us, living in some undefined place called heaven.  There is, however, a much broader view.  Infinity is a barely understood concept that can be considered to be Deity in the broadest sense.  Most people perceive  their god to be omnipotent without really understanding the meaning of that word.  But, truly, the term means all powerful - all that is good, or positive, and all that is evil, or negative. It includes the physical and the spiritual.  In includes all moods and feelings and actions.  It includes all forms of energy. The myriad of religions and their dogmas lead their followers according to their version of god - Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, Buddah.Confucious, Great Spirit, or whatever name they choose to represent their god.
But of these are  Deity. Deity is both good or evil - both positive and negative. All such value judgement  are Deity.  Everything that exists is Deity, including each and every one of us, the world we live in, all living creatures, rocks, water, planets and galaxies are Deity.  Any actions that we take are a part of Deity, and it is within this context that we live our physical lives.
