Transtheism in various religions: The transtheistic elements in religions are often contrasted or counter balanced by theistic elements.
Transtheism assumes the existence of Deity and asserts that there are specific instances in which the aforementioned doctrines may be accurate but are subject to human apprehension.

My Transtheism assumes the existence of God as an absent deity and the ultimate concept of God’s existence is transcendent and external to all other forms of existence, which implies an impersonal, non-anthropomorphic, non-universemorphic or even non-multiversemorphic being and view of God.
Transtheism, uhm taps chin, gave me something to think about for a while, but as a Jaino-Buddhist the idea of any specific theos, or any god, or any supreme first cause that is transcendent, seperate from, or 'above' this universe, is not relevent, and not important to my own 'spiritual' path.
The explanation given above to describe Transtheism seems to me to basicaly describe the Deist position, ie, a god who is distant and has no interest in this world.

While understandably convenient, "atheistic" is thus not the best word to use to describe Jainism.
We could benefit considerably by exploring the term "transtheistic" or "transtheism" instead.
Personally, I don't quite see anything terribly sophisticated, nor anything particularly evolved about anyone who expressedly shuns all commitment to any concept of good conduct that is set within a system of thought that gives the individual some manner of direction in life (which is what religion is, essentially).

To chose atheism you have to regard theism as irrational.
And I also see transtheism as a very interesting concept.
