Deism is belief in a God or first cause based on reason rather than faith, distinguishing it from theism (Monothe Ism). Deism is usually synonymous with "natural religion" in 18th century Enlighten Ment writings... Deism was founded on the belief that the universe was created by a God who then made no further intervention in its affairs, often expressed by the metaphor of the "[Divine Watchmaker]" who created a mechanism so perfect as to be [Self Regulating]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism
