of course not, how could you convince people to give to you money in exchange for special knowledge about god if you didn't actually have any special knowledge

and deism is a general term, not a specific religion

In some ways, Taoism applies. But this is tricky. "Magical" or "popular" Taoism has a pangheon of Gods, much like Roman Mythology. Tao Chai, however believes in one "Grand Force," called the "Eternal Tao."

But the Great Tao is also a little tricky for people not familiar with Eastern ideas. It may or may not translate into "God" in the sense that Westerners understand it. The Tao is not necessarily a being, per se. We were not "made in its immage." Basicly they see destiny as having an intelligence.
The Tao is believed to be beyond human understanding and they kind of leave it go at that. They do have advice in how to experience the Tao. I think it works. Get the book TAO TE CHENG by Lao Tzu. (Written c.400 B.C.)

You can find various translations in the library. Be sure to get one that explains the passages, or get a supplemental book on the subject. It is not likely to make sense otherwise.

i'm a Taoist, Determinist, Stoic, Chaos Theorist, Pantheist, Atheist. a great style of philosophies. sure. Taoism. Derived from Lao Tzu's spectacular paintings the Tao te Ching. It teaches the three widespread virtues, or jewels. Moderation, Humility, and Compassion. It teaches us to no longer contrive, and to take exhilaration in causality. It teaches us that the suitable leaders are not the main enjoyed, yet those whose matters comprehend their very own accomplishments, and not the 'accomplishments' of the chief. Determinism. From the size of the great bang, each little thing became desperate by skill of the skill and fee of its explosion. each little thing. That there could be existence. What existence could be right here, all of it. the only exception to this rule is the interplay of subatomic debris on a quantum point--which, certainly--has a profound result. Chaos concept: Elaborates on the Quantum mechanics uncertainty tension via determinism. It sums up the two Taoism and Determinism splendidly. the full scope of causality, the reason and result nature of the universe, to boot because of the fact the very reasonable results of tiny, insignificant issues which grow to be considerable issues as time is going on, ultimately sweeping further and further up into their course as they address new shapes of their very own. This ultimately explains a great deal of evolution, and why it took the trails it did. Stoic. that there is little factor at getting disenchanted approximately something. It in user-friendly terms makes issues worse. Pantheist: The Universe is God, and it could or won't be as clever because it is ideal and complicated. Atheist: there is not any God, shop the potential of an clever universe. those are my ideals.

It's not a religion. It's called science. No hear me out. It say the big bang created it all. Ergo God = Big Bang = Creator and nothing else. Only belive is that big bang created the Universe. Of course you didn't say anything about intelligence design. Big Bang = Creator only basic belief

Deism. Deists believe that there is a creator, but that when he/she was finished creating the universe they just left us alone to flounder about the best we can.
