Forgive me if something like this has been asked before, you can simply leave a link in this case and I might follow with additional questions. Also, can I specify I'd be more interested in a perspective of Deism by itself, not Christian Deism or something like that (curious about these concepts too but it's not this thread's purpose).
Some context, coming from a nebulous agnostic background, I don't really know how believing a deist god would change anything significantly. I've never been taught religion or prayed growing up.
If a person has a similar background to mine, would their life be exactly the same? What would be different? Does a Deist god influence something about the person's life? Is it a mindset that colour's one's perception of life and the universe? Does it help, somehow?
I hope you don't take these questions the wrong way, it's in no way accusatory or challenging Deism. I'm simply curious, since it is a concept I do not oppose.
