Aristotle was not a [[theist]] and rejected the existence of the [[Old Gods]] many Athenians worshiped. However, he recognized the impossibility of an [[infinite regress]] of cause and effect in the natural world, and so postulated The [[Unmoved Mover]] as a [[First Cause]] of the natural world. Some argue this makes Aristotle the first recorded [[deism|deist]], though he did not predate certain movements in Egypt and the near East, and his Unmoved Mover can very effectively be understood as part of man's journey towards the God of Christ.

However, as Aristotle did not know about the great Hindu religion, he could not appreciate the wonder of the Hindu gods. If he did, he would surely have been a Hindu
