Hello Nicholas, you are right to point out that I went from a general definition of God to a reference to the Biblical God. I think for most people identifying God as creator, as good, and both transcendent and immanent as describing the Biblical God. I am of course including the Abrahamic religions in this, not just Christianity. I am not aware of other major religions that define God in that way, although I am certain there are those (many perhaps) who would not consider themselves aligned with any particular faith but who could subscribe to that definition of God.

And, yes, there are many, many worldviews as well as perhaps an endless combination combining the two I tried to delineate. Certainly the eastern religions have quite a different worldview. I am not conversant enough with those traditions to try to analyze the specifics, but would be eager for anyone else to do so.
