<p>Thanks to @kyc's comment below, from which I now learned that the word &quot;<strong>仏</strong>&quot; is a &quot;俗字(古)&quot; of, and used by Japanese for, &quot;<strong>佛</strong>&quot;.</p>
<p><strong>仏 <a href="https://moji.tekkai.com/zoom/%E4%BB%8F/page.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">(いろいろな書体)</a> -</strong></p>

<p>My previous guess was wrong, it should be correct to &quot;<strong>神仏控</strong>&quot;.</p>

I think people say it’s 佛 because it’s 仏.

<p>My boyfriend found this photo, loved the art, however can't seem to translate it. I gave it a shot and I think one word says &quot;god&quot;, the font makes it untranslatable through copy and paste, any help? <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/7A5xfWYe.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/oT6saI9A.jpg" alt="heres the text**" />**</a></p>

That looks like 「神佛控」, but I can't find anything incorporating this phrase.

I would translate 神佛控, in a literal sense, as "Under the control / influence of something Divine or other worldly", as can be seen from the illustration of an other worldly figure, (Grim Reaper), leading a small, innocent boy. It is, to me, not a pleasant image.
