Deism, Theism, Atheism and Nihilism

Adherence to any of the five world religions - belief that we were created by God to follow certain rules of morality in order to make ourselves worthy of having


1) an afterlife not in hell or
2) a next life that is not worse than the one we have.

Deism, the idea that God exists but does not know our hearts and minds, does not intervene in human affairs and is indifferent to us and never answers our prayers, leads to nihilism.
