Deism
'''Deism''' is the combination of the intuition of the [[transcendence]] of God and the belief that God cannot, or, at least, does not, interact with, nor otherwise involve Himself in, the Creation. Deism is contrasted with [[pantheism]], in that pantheism is the combination of belief in an omnipresent Creator God and the belief that God's [[omnipresence]] implies that God ''is'' the Creation.

In its mildest form, Deism is nearly equivalent to a belief that no one can truly know whether there is a God or not ([[agnosticism]]). In its strongest form, Deism is a systematic religion of rejecting all claims to a personal, or otherwise involved God, in that God is supposed incapable, by His transcendence, of any kind of interaction with the Creation.
