The belief that God (or some form of deity or divine creator) exists, but plays no interactive role in our day to day lives
The founding fathers of the United States were largely deists.

It honors reason as the choicest gift of God to man, and the faculty by which he is enabled to contemplate the power, wisdom and goodness of the Creator displayed in the creation; and reposing itself on His protection, both here and hereafter, it avoids all presumptuous beliefs, and rejects, as the fabulous inventions of men, all books pretending to revelation.

The founding fathers may have been deist... but thats kind of when the religion lost all its numbers. Deism has nothing to do with slavery and i dont know how these certain individuals came up with such an absurd notion. Sure Deists owned slaves, but so did christians HELL even jews had them, btw thomas paine did not agree with slavery and these people are a total nimrods for throwing such a noble man into such a harsh category. he wrote for black and woman rights LOOONG before his time, you guys should read common sense.

blah blah blah
"god doesn't interfere with our daily lives blah blah blah, but he bestowes the gift of reason upon us which would be god interfering with us which according to deists and their high and mighty "reason" he doesn't do but they just said he does do it,blah blah blah"
And deists said that it's self evident that all men are created equal but deists owned slaves and considered them 3/5 human.
Some twisted fuckin "reason" there assholes.You enlightened beasts!
