Epicureanism does not deny the existence of gods, but rejects their involvement in human affairs and the universe. According to Epicurus, gods are perfect, distant, and indifferent — therefore they do not send punishments, disasters, or rewards. This philosophical idea removes fear of divine intervention and motivates rational thinking based on nature and human experience.
