Belief in a higher power (6)
I believe the answer is:
theism
'belief in a higher power' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for theism that I've seen before include "Belief in a deity" , "Belief in a creator" , "of faith" , "Belief in existence of a God revealed to man" , "The doctrine or belief in the existence of a God or gods" .)
