The goal is to establish probability itself as a deity and Probulism as a religion. It\u2019s not how we typically think of a deity and this is a very different religion. It is more of a deistic god; one that is not concerned about the daily affairs of humans. It would a religion for skeptics, scientists, free-thinkers, and atheists, agnostics, and secular humanists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I call the God of Probability, Probulos. No, I am not the God of Probability. Think of me as the messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probulism would be a religion based on Probulos, the God of Probability.<br>Probulism would have no dogma except to respect the laws of probability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert Einstein famously remarked in a 1926 letter to Max Born:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs I have said so many times, God doesn&#8217;t play dice with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My theory is that God&nbsp;<em>is<\/em>&nbsp;the dice. What could exist outside of space, time, energy and matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The probability that space, time, energy and matter would come into existence.<br>Probulos is the origin of every law of mathematics, physics, and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I compare and contrast Probulism with other religions and why I call it a religion. We examine the role of statistics and probability in our lives and how well it fits into a belief system based on science, reason, and the scientific method. This is a religion for those who do not have faith without evidence. It is a religion for the rest of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as a thought experiment and a great topic for a free-thought discussion group.
