Also, there is the belief that you have to believe in God, but a Higher Power can be anything other than yourself. I have many friends in the fellowship who have a HP such as nature, the fellowship, The Great Spirit (like Native Americans), and tons more. "God" is pretty much a catch all due to the way that the English language is set up, in my honest, goofy little opinion. I know my HP is a freaking mutt, but my HP works for me.
