Deism is the theological position recorded in this atlas under the theology value deistic, held by movements that affirm a creator God known through reason and nature rather than revelation. Wikipedia describes deism as the belief that a Supreme Being or God created the universe and that empirical reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of a creator God. It is distinct from the deism religion-type entry, which records the movement rather than the position. It is recorded as its own position entity so that the religions and cults that hold it can be grouped and compared in one place, while each entry keeps its own theology facts and sources.
