A deist is one who believes in (or is willing to entertain the idea of a) God, but generally rejects the God/Gods/Goddesses portrayed by all of the world's religions. Most deists are agnostics (or even atheists) who feel they cannot reveal their actual beliefs (this was especially true of deists in the 18-19th centuries who lived in cultures/communities still greatly dominated by the Church)
Deism is the belief that God created everything, and then left us alone, and is not a part of our daily lives in so far as he/she doesn't care about us from day to day and assumes no control over life, exerts no influence on natural phenomena, and gives no supernatural revelation.

Deism (i/ˈdiː.ɪzəm/[1][2]or /ˈdeɪ.ɪzəm/) is a philosophy which holds that reason and observation of the natural world, without the need for organized religion, can determine that the universe is the product of a creator.
