Arguments against Deism and for religion.

RE: Arguments against Deism and for religion.
Quote:So I don't see how believing in God without a religion is not logical


But its rather pointless, is it not?

Quote:Deism Listeni/ˈdiːɪzəm/[1][2] in religious philosophy is the belief that reason and observation of the natural world, without the need for organized religion, can determine that the universe is the product of an all-powerful creator. According to deists, the creator does not intervene in human affairs or suspend the natural laws of the universe. Deists typically reject supernatural events such as prophecy and miracles, tending instead to assert that a god (or "the Supreme Architect") does not alter the universe by intervening in it. This idea is also known as the Clockwork universe theory, in which a god designs and builds the universe, but steps aside to let it run on its own. Two main forms of deism currently exist: classical deism and modern deism.

I mean what is the benefit in proclaiming such a 'god?'
