An Arahant (or Arahat as it is more commonly known) is someone who has become enlightened, but through the help of someone else, i.e. they could not achieve enlightenment on their own. For example, after the Buddha first became enlightened, he taught the five ascetics that followed him about how he himself had become enlightened, and after hearing these teachings, the ascetics in turn became enlightened, but they had not done so through their own meditation etc.
Buddhism teaches that all life is characterized by suffering, known as Dukkha. This concept is one of the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism, which form the foundation of the religion's teachings on the nature of existence and the path to enlightenment.
A deist is a person who believes in a all powerful God, but not in a particular God from any one religion. George Washington was a deist.
