Deism, or ‘natural religion’, the belief in a Supreme Being as the source of finite existence, with rejection of revelation and the supernatural doctrines of Christianity.
The Deists, who came into prominence at the end of the 17th and during the 18th cent. were much influenced by the views of
Lord Herbert of Cherbury, often known as ‘the father of Deism’. They include Charles Blount (1654–93),
Toland, Matthew Tindal (1657–1733),
Anthony Collins, Thomas Chubb (1679–1747), and the third earl of
Shaftesbury.
Locke, who rejected the label of Deist, nevertheless contributed significantly to the movement with his
Reasonableness of Christianity (1695).
