A Retracted God

Very few Animists are Atheists!

80% of indigenous tribal Animists live with the concept of a retracted God, where deity is no longer actively running the world (has no omnipotence/ Omnipresence) is dormant or gone.

This episode ties into the concept of Naturism (that the world runs entirely by causality (cause and effect)),

It ties into Cartian Philosophies about the duality of nature.

If your god is redacted, what happens to the concept of free-will and heavenly ascension? what morality are we working towards?

Both Animism and Naturism utilize immediacy, and so we look vaguely towards predetermination.
