Page "Deism" Paragraph 124

There are a number of subcategories of modern deism, including monodeism ( this being the default standard concept of deism ), polydeism, pandeism, panendeism, spiritual deism, process deism, Christian deism, scientific deism, and humanistic deism.

Some deists see design in nature and purpose in the universe and in their lives ( Prime Designer ).

Others see God and the universe in a co-creative process ( Prime Motivator ).

Some deists view God in classical terms and see God as observing humanity but not directly intervening in our lives ( Prime Observer ), while others see God as a subtle and persuasive spirit ( Prime Mover ).
