"Even those autistic people who are religious tend to formulate their religious beliefs in a way that aligns more closely with their natural propensity for concrete reasoning, or they focus on finding comfort in rituals and traditions more than theology. Instead of embracing traditional concepts of a humanlike deity involved in the creation and moral governance of the universe, they often perceive divinity as an embodiment of universal laws, a perspective that veers toward pantheism or pandeism rather than classical deism. Their god is usually not a conscious, purposeful creator but more an expression of nature itself or the laws of physics."
