Which religions believes god has no effect?

Answer 1

All of them. GOD SUCKS :)

A simple answer is that there are no religions Christian or otherwise who believe that God or gods are of no effect. Since the beginning of civilization, Man has sought to understand the vagaries of the physical world around them and it is at this point we began to believe in a "Higher Power" and created images of what that higher power may look like. With the passage of time, it also became a question of how the world came into existence, why are we here and why we all eventually die. The word "religion" is of Latin origin. ('re' meaning towards or in the direction and 'ligio' meaning restraint or binding). On the surface, we are left with an absurdity, a word meaning "being of a mind to be bound or restrained". However, the binding is not forced upon us, rather it is communal unification of belief which helps to make sense of a world that at times is cold, harsh, senseless and inexplicable or random. Religion is a shared or communal system of belief or charter of beliefs, physical symbols and rituals which not only help us to understand the physical world but also to understand personal and societal attitudes and interaction eg. politics, a legal system and commerce to name but a few.
