In religion, transcendence is the concept that God can be either close to you or very separate from you, because he is perfect and beyond all things human:

Jews see this as the idea that God is very great and omnipotent, like a Judge, father, warrior, or teacher. Jews say God is all good, that He can be angry and jealous.

Muslims have the belief that God is a perfect entity, without sin or corruption.

Christians believe that because Jesus came in human form they have the idea of God as a man and as a divine spirit. They saw Jesus as divinity and as human, with pain, sadness, joy and uncertainty, but also power, piety

Some forms of Hinduism believe that God is both transcendent and immanent, in other words panentheistic. He pervades the whole universe, yet is not only the material universe, but more than that. The Supreme Cosmic Spirit or Brahman, however, has more immanent characteristics than transcendent. In Vaishnavism and Shaivism, God is regarded as an anthropomorphic person, and hence is transcendent. See Ishvara.
