@ToxicWaste @13esq this is in line with the "Deist" version of God. the Deism position is the belief that there is a God or Gods, but not of religious man-made lore.

while a deist can have different ideas of how that God or Gods behave, the most common deist belief is of a God who set the universe in motion, but does not influence it further than that.

i do agree that it's a nicer idea of God where worship is not forced, arbitrary rules aren't established, etc.

Voltaite was a well known deist
