Well, I used to be convinced that there is just God and nothing else. No Jesus, Moses and all those. Uh, I think it can be considered a religion, since it's a belief in a god. On top of that, I have noticed that many people whom I've met/chatted with are fans of this religion. I would still believe in it if I hadn't thought deeply about it all. So, um, yes.

If i was to believe in a religion, i'd believe in what you just now described Stamsarger, as i do accept the possibility that a God MAY exist, but am 99% sure that it's not the christian God.

Interesting quote, you should look more in deism, but not trying to convince you about something.
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force..We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.” ~ Max Planck - Quantum Theory and Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
