Fuck all polls obviously but if you can be fucked, my serious answer is #7, even though that's not exactly it.
I'd be happy to know that there exists a deistic type of god - a powerful, transcendental being, or a consciousness (cue Little Rik flashbacks), which created the universe but because of its powerfulness and transcendental nature and whatnot is nowhere near as human as any theistic god, but instead just a slightly anthropomorphized metaphor for the universe, which you can come in contact with by smoking copious amounts of weed/doing a whole lotta acid and tuning in to the vibrations of everything and realizing that we are all one or something super duper deep like that. That was what I'd wished for when I had a phase of desperately wanting "something bigger" to exist. I even wrote a poem about it but the cringe factor is too strong. Also I might have listened to one too many stoner prog rock songs that evening. My thirst for meaning in the universe has since been quenched by cheerful nihilism and memes.
