In literature, “creed” serves a dual function—sometimes referring to a formal system of religious or philosophical belief, and at other times standing in as a personal or rhetorical marker. In theological or philosophical contexts, authors invoke the term to denote specific institutional doctrines, such as the Nicene or Apostles’ Creeds [1], [2], [3], or to critique the rigidity of belief systems [4], [5]. Meanwhile, in historical narratives and personal accounts, “Creed” can appear simply as a surname, notably recurring in the everyday records of Samuel Pepys, where its use is both literal and indicative of social network affiliations [6], [7], [8]. This multiplicity of uses underscores the word’s versatility in literature, functioning as a symbol of both defined doctrine and individual conviction.
