There may be no point, but beliefs aren't normally based on the value they produce.

It's far more rational to just believe in some sort of a creator, rather than believing that you know a load of highly specific information about it; or even worse, that you're actually interacting with it.

I've noticed that deism seems to often be a stepping stone for someone coming out of religion, before they progress to atheism. So this may be the biggest point it has Smile
