What about Deism?
       
Every invocation of a concept of divinity represents a
generalizing tendency of mind. Anthropomorphisations
generalize over human and non-human, and any such impulse
will intersect our sense of meaning (not necessarily in the
sense of end or purpose--which relates to meaning by placing
things in a broader (temporal) context). Deism draws its
strength by fusing a concept that signifies generality (a God
that ranges over everything) and so intones meaning (The
meaning of the world is its most general representation),
with the world of our ordinary experience--thereby raising
that world to a 'higher' (more intense, spiritual, etc.) level.

But what does all this add up to? What does the concept of
God really signify? It's alarmingly simple, but subtle: the
concept of futurity. That we live in a world of time, and can
at least be wrong about the future--even in the face of the
most convincing psychic impressions. You do not need the
concept of God in any form to achieve a consolation more
resolute than the religions offer. All you need is the
concept of time, rightly understood. And that means
understanding what has not been well appreciated: that the
future decides the past, and present. What something is is
decided by what it becomes.

Van Gogh was not a genius until he painted his works of 1886
and beyond. In 1879 he displayed, in his early drawings, no
talent for art beyond earnestness. If a seed becomes an oak,
it was an acorn; if it becomes Mozart, it was a human zygote.
If a chair suddenly disappears, maybe it wasn't a physical
object at all, but an hallucination, vision, dream. Any
radical discontinuity in our experience (such as death) is
enough to alter/decide the nature and even reality of what 
came before.

So what is there to fear, beyond our presumptions as to how
time will play out, which is beyond our capacity to know for
sure? And it is the 'for sure' that matters most. Believe
what you like about what is to come, but in so far as your
claims fail to recognize the nature, circumstance, and
significance of time, you, anyone, will suffer, or be
vulnerable to suffer, the full range of human fear, pain,
etc. (Yes, even physical pain relates to our judgments about
how things will play out.) Normalism allows us to understand
how our religions console (if we insist on adhering to our
'spiritual metaphors'), or allows us to dispense with the
mythological trappings and take our consolation pure.
