What is the name (if one) for people who believe there is a god, they just don't worship/care?

Question

My friend's brother told my friend the name, but forgot what it was. He thinks it starts with an "N". Well, while I patiently wait for an answer, I shall be playing Elite Beat Agents! (I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas, gas, gas!)

Answer 1

Are you thinking of the Deists? They believe that there's a god that started everything in motion, but doesn't get into the day to day meddling.

Answer 2

Nincompoop? Just kidding ... Deist can just mean someone who believes in God, but it also has a more specific meaning. A Deist believes that God made the Universe and all the physical laws which make it work, but that he has used a "hands off" approach ever since. God will not interfere with what happens in the Universe - no miracles - and he probably isn't interested in our prayers or worship, either.

Answer 3

One word I can think of that starts with "N" that fits your description is "nondenominational". However, that isn't really a belief structure or theology in and of itself, merely a category usually ascribed to a group like a church which is very broadly inclusive.

If you're looking for a particular belief, as other posters say "deism" or "theism" might be a good choice.

Answer 4

HI ZIGGYZOKO the real answer to your question is Worshipnotbelievers" Guess that fixes you right? Just kidding! The real name is deists. They believe there is a suprime being but they dont worship that being.

Answer 5

Deist?

They believe that a god created the world, but doesn't interfere with it or anybody in it.

Answer 6

Agnosticism.

Answer 7

It's called Diesm.
