Dewism

A "religion" combining Deism and Atheism. While Dewists believe in God, they believe He is the rules, laws, and constants that guide the universe and not a sentient being.

In Dewism, you don't worship God. You study, know and respect Him.

deism

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.

pan-deism

A group of religions similar to pan-theism, but with a deist outlook on the nature of God. Pan-deists believe that God is immanent in the universe - basically that God is everything and everything is God. However, unlike pan-theism, God is not a conscious or active being, but non-personal and non-interventory.

Diffs from panen-theism/panen-deism, which believe that even though God is immanent in the universe, he also transcends it (exists outside of it partly). Also spelt pandeism.

Oh ignore that dude, he's a pan-deist - he sees the divine in a pinecone even.

I never said that nature has a soul or conciousness - you need to read up on pan-deism to understand.

Hinduism is not pan-deistic; it's panen-theistic.

Deism

"From Latin Deus, God.Deity The doctrine or creed of a Deist." And Deist is defined in the same dictionary as: "One who believes in the existence of a God or supreme being but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason."

Deism

The beleif that god exists, but so do scientific and logical things.

Deists beleive that, rather then God shouting dramaticly "Let there be chickens!!" *, God created the first cell which then evolved into all other life. Meanwhile God was off doing important things, like creating other universes.

*let's not get into if he prehaps created eggs first, shall we?

In Deism, you beleive that God exists, but that's just about all you think about him.

deism

Its creed is pure, and sublimely simple. It believes in God, and there it rests.

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.
