What is Deism?

What is Deism?

In a recent debate,  one of the debaters said that the founding fathers were deists not theists. 1

  • Deism is a belief in a God who made the world but who never interupts its operations with supernatural events. It is theism minus miracles. God does not interfere with his creation. Rather, he designed it to run independent of him by immutable natural laws. In nature, he has also provided all that his creatures need to live. 2

 

If your interested in the “Founding Fathers” religion, whether Deist or Theist, you will find the following article from STR interesting.
