Irreligious theism

**Irreligious theism** is a form of theism in which a person believes in a God or higher being without adherence to organized religion. This belief is often confused with deism. However, irreligious theists maintain that God can and does intervene in the world, and that supernatural events such as miracles are possible, whereas deists reject divine intervention and the possibility of miracles. What irreligious theists and deists share is the belief in a God who created the universe.

Irreligious theists can pray without necessarily going through a classic group place of worship (mosques, synagogues, churches) and without physical intermediary, only by thought,or in a chosen, isolated personal place. One can believe in a personal  God without believing in or subscribing to the doctrines of an organized religion.

They don't need religion to help to distinguish good from evil,  humans being have consciousness.They can live without depending on religious descriptions telling them how to behave and even sometimes hurt them in their feelings or desires for the cause described in religious books (ex: when all religions practically reject Homosexuals and LGBTQ people, which can push them to harm themselves or even push parents to send their children to religious conversion therapies to make them "change" because the religious books have decreed by their writings that this was not "correct") and because of the religious writings it prevents people who think that they are not compatible, from linked belief in god and personal convictions feel obliged to belong to a religious group and do not think that irreligious theism can exist, and that there are no constraints or restrictions on believing in god without going through a religion.

Murmansk Oblast

**Murmansk Oblast** (Russian: Му́рманская о́бласть, ''Murmanskaya oblast' '') is a federal subject in northwestern Russia. The administrative centre is Murmansk, where most of the population lives. The oblast has a population of 741,511.

## History 
Records show people first began to populate the area sometime between 8000 BC and 7000 BC. The first permanent towns began to appear in the 15th century. These towns were mainly on the Tersky Coast. In the late 15th century, the area became part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. At the time, most of the economy was based on fishing.

## Oblast divisions 
The oblast is divided into six districts, six closed cities and six cities and towns under the oblast's control.

### Districts 
The six districts are: Kandalakshsky District, Kolsky District, Kovdorsky District, Lovozersky District, Pechengsky District, Tersky District.

### Closed cities 
The six closed cities are: Gadzhiyevo, Ostrovnoy, Polyarny, Severomorsk, Snezhnogorsk and Zaozyorsk.

These cities are controlled by the federal government. A "closed city" is a term for a city where residents need special permission to live there.

### Cities and towns under the oblast's control 
The six cities and towns under the oblast's control are: Murmansk, Apatity, Kirovsk, Monchegorsk, Olenegorsk and Polyarnye Zori.

These cities have their own oblast territory.

## Climate 
Most of the oblast is in the arctic circle, meaning in summer the sun is in the sky all day, while at night the sun never rises. The entire oblast also has a subarctic climate, with very cold winters, and short, warm summers. The area isn't as cold as other locations of the same longitude because of the effects of the North Atlantic Current. The current's influence also means that the northern coast is generally "warmer" than the southern central region.

## Demographics 
The native people of the area are the Sámi, but they only make up 0.2% of the population today.

Below is a list of the largest cities in the oblast:

Approximately 42% of the population adhere to the Russian Orthodox Church. Another 4.5% follow another form of Christianity. 1% of the population is Muslim, 12% are atheists and 28% are "spiritual but not religious."
