This characteristic is most commonly used in a [[religious]] [[context]], as most doctrines bestow the trait of omnipresence onto a superior, usually a [[deity]] commonly referred to as God by monotheists. This [[idea]] differs from [[Pantheism]].

Hinduism, and other religions that derive from it, incorporate the theory of [[transcendent]] and immanent omnipresence which is the [[traditional]] [[meaning]] of the [[word]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Brahman]. This theory defines a universal and fundamental substance, which is the source of all [[physical]] [[existence]].

Others propound a deity as having the "Three O's", including omnipresence as a [[unique]] characteristic of the deity. Most Christian denominations — following [[theology]] standardized by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Creed Nicene Creed] —explains the concept of omnipresence in the form of the "[[Trinity]]", by having a single deity (God) made up of three omnipresent persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
