noun

  1. uncountable The belief that there is a god, and that this god is benevolent. […] many of them still believe god exists, but that he has let them down and so they keep their belief in his existence, but no longer worship him (and even hate him). ie rather than switching to atheism, they switch from eutheism to dystheism (although they may incorrectly call themselves atheist).

    Opposite: dystheism, maltheism
