How it's used
Refers to a grand architect or designer of the universe rather than a specific deity from a particular religion. It is often used in philosophical or existential discussions to express wonder about the complexity of life or nature. While it carries a sense of reverence, it remains broad enough to be used by those who are not strictly religious.

Common mistake
