Religion, Atheism, and Deism -and the middle ground.

Oversimplification. There's also a lot of subconscious thought, hopefully conscious thought that goes into it, along with repeating patterns from childhood and early development.

What methods? Intuition is based on past empirical experience of events, and subconscious memories. I can "intuit" it's probably not a good idea to put my face on a griddle. Doesn't mean anything is going on beyond a rudimentary understanding of how things work.
