    Hypernym:theism
    • 1682,John Dryden,Religio Laici, Or A Layman's Faith:
      If my supposition be true, then the consequence which I have assumed in my Poem may be also true; namely, thatDeism, or the principles of natural worship, are only the faint remnants or dying flames of reveal'd religion in the posterity of Noah.
    • 1847, Julius Charles Hare, Augustus William Hare,Guesses at Truth, page39:
      As the Epicureans had aDeism without a God, so the Unitarians have a Christianity without a Christ, and a Jesus but no Saviour.
    • 2009,Diarmaid MacCulloch,A History of Christianity, Penguin, published2010, page786:
      In place of the idea which runs through the Tanakh and New Testament of a God intimately involved with his creation and providentially repeatedly intervening in it, there was the concept of a God who had certainly created the world and set up its laws in structures understandable by human reason, but who after that allowed it to go its own way, precisely because reason was one of his chief gifts to humanity, and order a gift to his creation. This was the approach to divinity known asdeism.
  2. Belief in a god who ceased to intervene with existence after acting as the cause of the cosmos.
