deism
deism System of natural religion, first developed in England in the late 17th century. It affirmed belief in one God, but held that He detached himself from the universe after its creation and made no revelation. Reason was man's only guide. The deists opposed revealed religion in general, and Christianity in particular. Deist writings include John Toland's
Christianity not Mysterious (1696) and Matthew Tindal's
Christianity as Old as the Creation (1730).
Voltaire,
Rousseau, and
Diderot were the main deists of the
Enlightenment period.
