Some quick facts to begin

The Critical Part
• The Critical Part of Deism consists of the rejection of all “revealed religions”, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which are dependent on a revelation from G-d.

Critical Part, Part 2
• Deism also rejects the occurrence of miracles as well as the doctrine of Original Sin and all other similar beliefs.

The Constructive Part
• G-d gave men reason which they use to gain knowledge from the world around them. Additionally, G-d created the universe, and wants human beings to act morally. After they die, there is an after-life.

So, essentially…
• Deists believe that G-d created the world and may even maintain it, but that he does not have any interaction in the day to day workings of man.

Some historical context
• Although Deism became popular during the Enlightenment, its roots came much earlier. Early philosophers, such as Plato, had espoused the idea of G-d as the craftsman, or “Demiurge”.
