I'm deterministic. Belief in cause and effect. Belief in science.

There are non-deterministic conjectures around in other places than
religions.

Like ...

random/unpredictable genetic mutations
random/unpredictable radioactive decay
random/unpredictable vacuum fluctuations

They will always only be conjecture because something
random/unpredictable is not testable. Testing relies on a cause to make
an effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

The reason I am religious is this logic...

1) I am conscious.
2) I am part of "The Whole".
3) "The Whole" is part Me.
4) "The Whole" is part conscious.

That is my Pantheism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism

"Pantheism is the belief that reality is identical with divinity."

To see God all you need to do is look at reality.

Completely testable by the will of "The Whole".
