God is a figure that appears often in Soares' writing. However, it soon becomes clear that Soares does not have a clear idea of the personality or the form of God. In fact, he states at one point that a man is a fool if he believes in one definite God. However, Soares approves the idea of a belief in an indefinite God. Moreover, Soares appears not to believe in the Jesus of the Christian Bible. In Section 322, Soares refers to the story of Jesus as a myth, a term that indicates the story is widely accepted as a true story, but probably is not true.
