What Are The Characteristic Beliefs That Deists Hold In Respect To Christianity?
Here is a quote from the following website: http://www.religioustolerance.org/deism.htm “The word “Deism” is derived from the Latin word for God: “Deus.” Deism involves the belief in the existence of God, on purely rational grounds, without any reliance on revealed religion or religious authority. Deists: Do not accept the belief of most religions that God revealed himself to humanity through the writings of the Bible, the Qur’an or other religious texts. Disagree with strong Atheists who assert that there is no evidence of the existence of God. They regard their faith as a natural religion, as contrasted with one that is revealed by a God or which is artificially created by humans. They reason that since everything that exists has had a creator, then the universe itself must have been created by God.
