The things that determined my religious beliefs were myself and the desire to want to believe in something. I don't want to go all T.S. Eliot and yell "God is Dead," I want to believe in something. I looked at myself and thought about what the world would be like if I was God (since God made man in his own image). Chances are that the world would be chaos and everything would fall apart, so rather than spend time watching over people and listening to their prayers, I'd just leave them alone to do what they wish. Ergo I'd be an apathetic God. Hence why I believe in Deism. God created the universe and then let it go.
We humans are responsible for our lives and how we handle the consequences of our actions. God won't make anybody's life better, you will have to. God doesn't play favorites, it's up to you to decide how you want to handle the bad stuff that happens in your life. If you think the world sucks, that is not God's fault, you choose to look at the world that way. Keep a positive attitude and try to find the happiness in misery (I understand that may seem difficult at times) and the world will look like a better place.
How do you believe?

I think that if god were to exist then god would not have the emotions to really "care" about what happens to us.
god may exist but even if it does that does not guarantee that we continue to exist after death.

I don't know what happens after death. And if God didn't care about us then I don't think he would've sent his son down to help us.
