It is a Dutch term for a range of beliefs held by people who, on the one hand, inwardly suspect--or indeed believe--that "there must be something undefined beyond the mundane and that which can be known or can be proven", but on the other hand do not necessarily accept or subscribe to the established belief system, dogma or view of the nature of a deity offered by any particular religion . Some of the English language related terms are agnostic theism (though very many ietsists do not believe in one or more gods and are thus atheists), eclecticism, deism and spiritual but not religious . Ietsists might call themselves Christian or followers of an other religion based on cultural identification with that religion, without believing in the dogmas of that particular religion . </P> <P> The name derives from the Dutch equivalent of the question: "Do you believe in the conventional' Christian' God?", a typical ietsist answer being "No, but there must be something", "something" being iets in Dutch . </P>
