What religion is my friend?

Question

My friend told me about her religion, but I forgot the name of it.

She says she believes in God, but she doesn't worship him and live just for him, and she believes that every religion has a little bit of truth in it. She believes in evolution, with only a hint of creation. She says she thinks that God created the first little micro-organisms, and then nudged them along and let them do their own evolving.
She told me that she doesn't like it that she should have to live only for Jesus and God, praising them and doing their work. She doesn't go to church either.

And I'm just trying to find out what it's called, I'm agnostic so I'm not looking for new religions to start.

Answer 1

Whichever one teaches you wisdom, patience, compassion, altruism, etc. without arrogance and hate.

Answer 2

It's either of these three religions. Here's also a link for your friend to try out. It's a little test for your friend.

Deism is a religious philosophy and movement that became prominent in England, France, and the United States in the 17th and 18th centuries. Deists typically reject supernatural events (prophecy, miracles) and divine revelation prominent in organized religion, along with holy books and revealed religions that assert the existence of such things. Instead, deists hold that religious beliefs must be founded on human reason and observed features of the natural world, and that these sources reveal the existence of one God or supreme being.


Pantheism (Greek: πάν ( 'pan' ) = all and θεός ( 'theos' ) = God) literally means "God is All" and "All is God". It is the view that everything is of an all-encompassing immanent God; or that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent. More detailed definitions tend to emphasize the idea that natural law, existence, and the universe (the sum total of all that is, was, and shall be) is represented or personified in the theological principle of 'God'.

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "a country dweller, rustic") is a term which, from a Western perspective, has come to connote a broad set of spiritual or cultic practices or beliefs of any folk religion, and of historical and contemporary polytheism religions in particular.

The term can be defined broadly, to encompass the faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The group so defined includes the Dharmic religions, Native American religions and mythologies and Shinto as well as non-Abrahamic ethnic religions in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. Characteristic of Pagan traditions is the absence of proselytisation, and the presence of a living mythology which explains religious practice.

The term "Pagan" is a Christian adaptation of the "goy" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations among Westerners, comparable to heathen, infidel, and mushrik and kafir (كافر) in Islam. For this reason, Ethnologists avoid the term "Paganism", with its uncertain and varied meanings, in referring to traditional or historic faiths, preferring more precise categories such as polytheism, shamanism, or animism.

Since the later 20th century, however, the words "Pagan" or "Paganism" have become widely and openly used as a self-designation of adherents of polytheistic reconstructionism and neo-Paganism.
