What is another word for deism?
Pronunciation: [dˈe͡ɪzəm] (IPA) 
Deism is the belief in a distant, non-interfering God who created the universe but does not intervene or interfere in human affairs. Synonyms for deism include natural theology, rational theology, and theistic rationalism. Natural theology emphasizes the use of reason and observation of the natural world to understand and recognize the existence of a divine creator. Rational theology emphasizes the use of logical arguments and deductive reasoning to understand the existence of God. Theistic rationalism combines the concepts of natural and rational theology, suggesting that the existence of God can be rationally deduced from the laws of the universe. Regardless of the synonym used, the core belief of deism remains consistent: that God created the universe and does not intervene in human affairs.
