Jump to navigation Jump to search


Irreligious theism is a form of theism in which a person believes in a God or higher being without adherence to organized religion. This belief is often confused with deism. However, irreligious theists maintain that God can and does intervene in the world, and that supernatural events such as miracles are possible, whereas deists reject divine intervention and the possibility of miracles. What irreligious theists and deists share is the belief in a God who created the universe.


Irreligious theists can pray without necessarily going through a classic group place of worship (mosques, synagogues, churches) and without physical intermediary, only by thought,or in a chosen, isolated personal place. One can believe in a personal God without believing in or subscribing to the doctrines of an organized religion.


They don't need religion to help to distinguish good from evil, humans being have consciousness.They can live without depending on religious descriptions telling them how to behave and even sometimes hurt them in their feelings or desires for the cause described in religious books (ex: when all religions practically reject Homosexuals and LGBTQ people, which can push them to harm themselves or even push parents to send their children to religious conversion therapies to make them "change" because the religious books have decreed by their writings that this was not "correct") and because of the religious writings it prevents people who think that they are not compatible, from linked belief in god and personal convictions feel obliged to belong to a religious group and do not think that irreligious theism can exist, and that there are no constraints or restrictions on believing in god without going through a religion.
