I am an agnostic atheist towards generic, non-descript gods, such as those of deism or pantheism and agnostic atheist towards impossible gods, those being logically impossible or physical so. I was a conspiracy fan for most of my childhood. I listened to Alex Jones and many others. I thought my future was going to be a doomsday scenario with banks and things like that. After that, I became a Marxist, specifically a techno-Marxist with the help of Peter Joseph and The Venus Project. After some arguments with ancaps, I gave up on that prospect and became what I am now. The transition towards anti-theist was due to me watching Aron-Ra's channel.
Not knowing the future does not mean you need even need to insert deism or pantheism into that gap. There is no need for any super cognition to start everything. The universe itself is also not a giant living thing.
Attempting to avoid the magic mythology with new age woo, does not make it any better.
Humans make these things up, including deism and pantheism as a way to cling to some sense of being part of eternity. We are finite in all this. An atom by itself cannot function like the entire body in health and in tact. Just like if you blow up your car engine, it will no longer function.
And as far Marx, he got the supporting worker part right, but not much else. I don't like Libertarians as a result. Economics is not "nanny state" vs "let the rich use us as tools". I take a anti monopoly attitude of not "either/or" but checks on all power no matter the religion, class, or business.
