In its typical modern form, deism is anti-[[Christian]], as it denies the divinity of [[Jesus Christ]], rejects the Bible (and all other texts) as God's scripture, and denies his signs and miracles to men.  It lacks any coherent morality, and is an excuse to claim to be religious while engaging in immoral liberal activity.  Thus it is a favorite of [[liberals]] who do not want to be branded with atheism.

Deism is also only a short step away from [[atheism]], and deistic beliefs often create a slippery slope to atheism.  This is a common tactic of atheist evangelists: first convince a Christian that God has left the world alone, and then deny the necessity of God. Atheism and Deism are morally and cosmologically equivalent, given God's presumed inaction of any moral and cosmological revelation.

Atheism and Deism are, for the most part, morally and cosmologically equivalent, given God's presumed inaction of any moral and cosmological revelation, an exception being that Atheism more easily permits worship of man by man while Deism holds that God is greater than man.
