"Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD) is a term coined by sociologist Christian Smith to describe a popular worldview among young Americans. It blends elements of morality, therapeutic relief, and deism, suggesting a distant God who primarily exists to make people happy and good. MTD emphasizes personal happiness and well-being, with God viewed as a distant entity who intervenes only to resolve problems."[https://www.google.com/search?q=Moralistic+Therapeutic+Deism&sca_esv=5b070172e01c51df&sxsrf=AE3TifPAW9g50bf3F1HCZKNQBJxADpo_bA%3A1752415194584&ei=2rtzaOi7I_OCp84P4NnvkAg&ved=0ahUKEwjokLCp_7mOAxVzwckDHeDsG4IQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=Moralistic+Therapeutic+Deism&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHE1vcmFsaXN0aWMgVGhlcmFwZXV0aWMgRGVpc20yChAAGIAEGEMYigUyCxAAGIAEGJECGIoFMgsQABiABBiRAhiKBTIFEAAYgAQyChAAGIAEGEMYigUyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIIEAAYogQYiQVI1RtQ0RFY0RFwAXgAkAEAmAGpAaABqQGqAQMwLjG4AQPIAQD4AQH4AQKYAgKgAr0BqAIUwgIHECMYJxjqAsICFBAAGIAEGJECGLQCGIoFGOoC2AEBwgIQEAAYAxi0AhjqAhiPAdgBAcICEBAuGAMYtAIY6gIYjwHYAQGYAw_xBRC_MWyf44X-ugYGCAEQARgBkgcDMS4xoAekBbIHAzAuMbgHrQHCBwUyLTEuMcgHEQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp]
