'''God''' (神, ''kami'') is a gratuitously abused term in the NGE universe, used excessively broadly and often to mean more than one thing. It's hard to define, as well, since ''kami'' is both a concept unique to Shintoism ''and'' the Japanese translation of the Western term "G/god", which is something wildly different.
