A creed (also confession, symbol, or statement of faith) is a statement of the shared beliefs of a religious community in the form of a fixed formula summarizing core tenets.
One of the most widely used creeds in Christianity is the Nicene Creed, first formulated in AD 325 at the First Council of Nicaea. It was based on Christian understanding of the Canonical Gospels, the letters of the New Testament and to a lesser extent the Old Testament. Affirmation of this creed, which describes the Trinity, is generally taken as a fundamental test of orthodoxy for most Christian denominations. The Apostles' Creed is also broadly accepted. Some Christian denominations and other groups have rejected the authority of those creeds.
Muslims declare the shahada, or testimony: "I bear witness that there is no god but (the One) God (Allah), and I bear witness that Muhammad is God's messenger."
Whether Judaism is creedal has been a point of some controversy. Although some say Judaism is noncreedal in nature, others say it recognizes a single creed, the Shema Yisrael, which begins: "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one."
Creed is a surname of English origin. At the time of the British Census of 1881, its frequency was highest in Somerset (7.4 times the British average), followed by Gloucestershire, Dorset, Kent, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, Warwickshire, London, Buckinghamshire and Wiltshire. The name may refer to:

It's been a long day at the bottom of the hill,
She died of a broken heart.
She told me I was living in the past,
Drinking from a broken glass.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I)turn to face the cold.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I)turn to travel home.
I walked down to the other end of the day,
Just to catch those last few waves.
I held out my hand and slowly waved goodbye,
I turned now my eyes up to the sky.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I) turn to face the cold.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I) turn to travel home.
She'll come back to me. (She'll come back to me.)
She'll come back to me. (She'll come back to me.)
All alone in this misery.
She'll come back to me.
I held out my hands into the light and I watched it die,
I know that I was part to blame.
I've done my time, and I...
Never want to spend my life alone.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I) turn to face the cold.
I'm alone (I never wanna be alone),
Now I (now I) turn to travel home.
