All religions are based on certain beliefs that cannot be proven. We simply accept them as true. Being beliefs, they are what separate the secular from the non-secular. No amount of empiricism will ever prove there is a God or that God created the universe.

The following three beliefs provide the bedrock upon which God-centered religions are built, and that provide the matrix for the holism of Christianity.

God exists.

There is only one God.

God is eternal.
