2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Deism \De"ism\ (d[=e]"[i^]z'm), n. [L. deus god: cf F. d['e]isme. See {Deity}.] The doctrine or creed of a deist; the belief or system of those who acknowledge the existence of one God, but deny revelation. Note: Deism is the belief in natural religion only, or those truths, in doctrine and practice, which man is to discover by the light of reason, independent of any revelation from God. Hence deism implies infidelity, or a disbelief in the divine origin of the Scriptures. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: deism n : the form of theological rationalism that believes in God on the basis of reason without reference to revelation [syn: {free thought}]
