Deism at least is free of this. Arguments that claim to prove religion by pointing at "the miracle of creation" do not prove their theism, or even attempt to. To do this, you have to prove that you know the mind of god. It's entirely possible to be agnostic on deism (I am), and an atheist (since no theist religions have proved their veracity).

Again, I am not attempting to prove theism to anyone on this forum. It is also not what this thread was about. We were asked by Sammi what we thought a world without religion would be. I gave my personal view and my personal rationale. It was not an attempt to convince, but a glimpse into my personal belief. It is okay if you disagree with it, but I am not making it a point of contention, nor do I attempt to persuade anyone of it's value. Honetly, I did not think it would get much of a reaction.
