God - what gives

1. Believers - Those who believe everything that happens is because of god, they generally don't believe in freewill.
2. Atheists - People who don't believe in the existence of god. Their main argument is that God's existence cannot be proved.
3. Agnostics - Those who can't decide either way. They try to stay out of such thinking.
4. Deists - Those who believe god created the universe and the rest is upto the mankind. This was Spinoza's theory. They usually believe in freewill. Their argument is atheists are wrong because god's inexistence cannot be proved the same way believers can't prove god's existence. Starting from the Universe to the smallest atom, everything seem to follow some pattern, law and some super power (god) must be responsible in creating them. Judaism sort of supports this philosophy since it acknowledges freewill. Hinduism also says human(jeevathma) can become god(paramathma) which means a complete freewill can be attained by man.

Agnostics can't decide whether there is god or not. They usually don't take sides.
