Monotheism and Deism are most similar in the belief of a singular God who is the creator.
Monotheism and Nihilism are the most dissimilar in that Nihilism sees existence as random and meaningless where as Monotheism holds to a personal God who gives life, purpose, and value

The two most alike worldviews are Monotheism and Deism. Monotheist believe in One God whom created everything and is involved, whereas a Deist believes in one God, however He does not get involved in His creation. The two most dissimilar worldviews would be a Monotheism and Naturalism. Monotheist believes in One God that is involved (including in creation), however, a Naturalist doesn’t believe in a creator, instead live could and does come from nonliving matter over an extended period of time.
