deism sounds pretty solid.
I am catholic but I like to venture into other thaughts sometimes.
Without a doubt tough there is something divine out there.

In my world religions class when we studied Judaism we had a few speakers come in who followed the religion so obviously the first question was why they believed in a God when the holocaust happened to them and how a real God would not allow it blah blah blah
They gave a pretty neat lecture on how they and most of the others in the community followed this belief so they did not blame God for it and if not this exact belief still believed that since God created human with the ability of free will he still wasn't to blame because if he intervened it would go against free will and humanity coming together to stop this is much greater than God doing it
I think it's a pretty good thing to believe in, thanking God for giving life but not expecting God to be involved with life, would be nice if this was the common mindset between religious groups

A common argument against religion is
" this thing happened and god didnt come to save me "
"if he was real he would have prevented world war 1&2 from happening"
Though the old testamet has a story regarding a jewish man who had very bad luck and lost all his fortune and became very ill and lost his family.
He stoped beleiving in god because he thaught if there was a god things like that would not happen.But then he is told by god that he can't interfere with everything and that our lives are up to us.
