Well I have arguments that show benevolence of God implies Deism due to various factors. Although the arguments are subjective nature, not that they are not true, but cannot be proven except ironically through faith.
For example, to value finding inner guidance within, over following authority.
Thinking for oneself as opposed to submitting to authority be they infallible or wrong.
Allowing freedom to chose and be wrong. Allowing a struggle of ideas without God dictating whom is right or wrong.
Finding values without being told them.
It depends on where your faith lies in morality and value. So ironically, maybe the best argument against religion comes down to faith. At least from a Deistic (mystic) perspective.
