Deists hoped to reconcile reason and faith, viewing Christianity as a moral and ethical framework that could coexist with rational thought. They believed in a creator who set the universe in motion but rejected the notion of divine intervention or miracles. Deists sought to strip Christianity of its supernatural elements, emphasizing a natural religion based on observation and reason rather than dogma. Ultimately, they aimed to promote a form of spirituality that was more aligned with Enlightenment ideals.
