/ˈdiː.ɪzəm/ DEE-iz-əm
or
/ˈdeɪ.ɪzəm/ DAY-iz-əm;
.
*derived from latin “deus” meaning “god”)*
.
*”deism” is a ‘philosophical position’ which posits that a ‘god’ does not interfere directly with the ‘world’*
.
(it also rejects ‘revelation’ as a source of ‘religious knowledge’ and asserts that ‘reason’ and ‘observation’ of the ‘natural world’ are ‘sufficient’ to ‘determine’ the ‘existence’ of a ‘single creator’ of the ‘universe’)
(“deism” gained prominence among intellectuals during the “age of enlightenment”, especially in ‘britain’, ‘france’, ‘germany’, and the ‘united states’)
(typically, these had been raised as ‘christians’ and believed in ‘1 god’, but they had become disenchanted with ‘organized religion’ and ‘orthodox teachings’ such as the ‘trinity’, ‘biblical inerrancy’, and the ‘supernatural interpretation’ of ‘events’, such as ‘miracles’)
(included in those influenced by its ideas were leaders of the ‘american’ and ‘french’ revolutions)
(today, ‘deism’ is considered to exist in the ‘classical’ and ‘modern’ forms, where the ‘classical view’ takes what is called a “cold” approach by asserting the ‘non-intervention’ of ‘deity’ in the natural behavior of the created ‘universe’, while the modern ‘deist’ formulation can be either “warm” (citing an ‘involved deity’) or “cold” (citing an ‘uninvolved deity’))
(these lead to many subdivisions of modern ‘deism’ which tends, therefore, to serve as an overall category of ‘belief’)
