Philosophy, 1931
Thosewho still interest themselves in problems connected with God, Freedom, and Immortality are not accustomed to look to natural science for any light on these dark places. It is usually admitted that the scientific method operates with basic assumptions which are far from binding on philosophers, and which indeed have no very satisfactory ...

In the proper sense, a deist is someone who affirms a divine creator but denies any divine revelation, holding that human reason alone can give us everything we need to know to live a correct ...

1992
Abstract Butler’s Analogy of Religion of 1736 was intended as a response to deism and so successful was it that it can in many ways be seen as having dealt the mortal blow. As Hume’s attitude well illustrates, Butler’s reputation was quickly established, and the work was to remain a classic text for over a century.

1972
The stand made by Byrom and Law is no isolated rearguard action; it arises directly out of the prolonged religious controversy of the early 18th century. Some analysis of this controversy is necessary if we are to make sense of Byrom’s subsequent propaganda for Law’s new way of ideas, and his expression of their latent aesthetic consequences.

Pomegranate, 1997
Most discussions of the variety of Wiccan beliefs start by assuming that there are two basic positions; either one believes literally in personal, named deities, or one does not. The more I talk to non-deist Witches, the more I believe that this is an oversimplification.

Philosophia Christi, 2007
When preeminent philosophical atheist Antony Flew announced in 2004 that he had come to believe in God's existence and was probably best considered a deist, the reaction from both believers and skeptics was "off the chart." Few religious stories had this sort of appeal and impact, across the spectrum, both popular as well as theoretical.

“Deism,” from the Latin deus, denotes belief in some form of deity. As with “latitudinarianism,” the term “deism” resolutely resists definitions both now and when it is first used. In England in the 17th and 18th centuries, the term applies to a range of people from un-Christian theists to anti-Christian theists.
