The phrase "god gene" refers to a theoretical link between genetics and religious belief. However, some find the term controversial and prefer to use alternative synonyms. These include "spiritual gene," "religious gene," or "faith gene." Others believe that spirituality and religion are not solely determined by genetics and suggest using "spiritual predisposition," "religious inclination," or "inherent belief system" instead. Some also argue that the term "god gene" reinforces the notion of a single, all-powerful deity and prefer to use "divine gene" or "transcendent gene" to encompass a broader range of beliefs. Ultimately, the use of these synonyms depends on individual opinions and beliefs about the complex relationship between genetics and spirituality.
