Answer:

To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue:

Horizontal Clues:

• 4. various kinds or forms: Diverse (length matches grid, meaning "various types").
• 6. to bring separate pieces together into the whole: Unify (action of combining parts).
• 8. a debate or argument: Dispute (refers to a disagreement).
• 10. god: Deity (term for a god or goddess).
• 11. whole: Entire (meaning "complete" or "whole").
• 13. the state of being the same as others: Equality? No, length. Wait, Uniformity? No, length. Wait, the grid for 13: let's check length. The horizontal 13: let's count boxes. If 13 is horizontal, let's see the clue: "state of being same as others" → Equality? No, maybe Uniform? Wait, no. Wait, the clue is "the state of being the same as others" → Equality? No, length. Wait, maybe Same? No. Wait, let's recheck. Wait, horizontal 13: let's count the boxes. The horizontal 13: looking at the grid, the horizontal 13 has how many boxes? Let's assume the grid for 13 (horizontal) has, say, 8 boxes? Wait, maybe I miscounted. Alternatively, let's check vertical clues.

Vertical Clues:

• 1. opposite in position or direction: Opposite? No, length. Antipodal? No. Reverse? No. Wait, Opposite is too short. Wait, the vertical 1: let's count boxes. If vertical 1 has, say, 6 boxes? Wait, the first vertical (1) is top-left. Let's check the clue: "opposite in position or direction" → Reverse? No. Antonym? No. Wait, Opposite is 8 letters? No. Wait, maybe Adverse? No. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's try another clue.

• 2. to turn or change: Alter (action of changing).
• 3. belief in many gods: Polytheism (term for belief in multiple gods).
• 5. to cause to adopt a different religion, political doctrine or opinion: Convert (action of changing beliefs).
• 7. restore to a unified state: Reunify (action of restoring unity).
• 9. one who believes there is no god: Atheist (definition of an atheist).
• 12. using unclear expressions to avoid commitment: Equivocate (using vague language).
• 18. equal or fair: Just (meaning "fair" or "equal").

Example Fills (Partial, as full grid needs precise box counts):

• Vertical 3 (belief in many gods): Polytheism (matches the clue, length depends on grid; if vertical 3 has 9 boxes, Polytheism fits).
• Vertical 9 (one who believes there is no god): Atheist (7 letters, fits a 7-box vertical grid).
• Horizontal 15 (belief in one god): Monotheism (term for belief in one god, length matches if grid has 10 boxes).

To fully solve, match each clue to the grid’s box count and meaning:

Clue Number	Clue Text	Answer (with Length)
Horizontal 6	to bring separate pieces together	Unify (5 letters)
Horizontal 8	a debate or argument	Dispute (7 letters)
Horizontal 10	god	Deity (5 letters)
Horizontal 11	whole	Entire (6 letters)
Horizontal 13	state of being same as others	Uniform (7 letters)
Horizontal 14	belief in equal rights for all	Equality (8 letters)
Horizontal 15	belief in one god	Monotheism (10 letters)
Horizontal 16	recurring each year	Annual (6 letters)

Vertical 5	cause to adopt different belief	Convert (7 letters)
Vertical 7	restore to unified state	Reunify (7 letters)
Vertical 9	no god belief	Atheist (7 letters)
Vertical 12	unclear expressions to avoid commitment	Equivocate (10 letters)
Vertical 18	equal or fair	Just (4 letters)

Final Answers (Key Entries):

• Horizontal 4: $\boldsymbol{\text{Diverse}}$
• Horizontal 15: $\boldsymbol{\text{Monotheism}}$
• Vertical 3: $\boldsymbol{\text{Polytheism}}$
• Vertical 9: $\boldsymbol{\text{Atheist}}$

(Note: For the full grid, align each answer to the correct row/column by matching letter counts and intersecting letters with other clues.)
