Moralistic Therapeutic Deism

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) is a common belief system among many young people today. It suggests that God exists mainly to help individuals feel happy and good about themselves. People believe in being kind and moral, but they often see religion as a way to achieve personal comfort and happiness rather than following strict religious rules. MTD emphasizes that being a good person and feeling good are central to faith, with a vague idea of a loving God who doesn't usually get involved in daily life. It reflects a focus on individual well-being and moral behavior over doctrinal or traditional religious commitments.
