god
'der Gott' and 'der Schöpfer' can both refer, in a religious sense, to a supreme power. 'Gott' is the more general religious name for the supreme being. 'der Schöpfer' especially emphasizes a task or quality: that this power created the world and life. In prayers, religious texts, or conversations about faith, 'Gott' is usually more natural. 'der Schöpfer' fits better when you are talking about the origin of the world or want to highlight this creative role.
