Best Answer

Deism is a form of monotheism that rejects the idea that the god intervenes in the world, apart from its creation. Hence any notion of special revelation is impossible, and the nature of the god can only be known through reason and observation from nature. A deist thus rejects the miraculous, and the claim to knowledge made for religious groups and texts. On the other hand, Christians believe that God intervenes, that special revelation is impossible, that miracles happen and that the nature of God can be found in the scriptures.

Several of the founding Fathers of the United States are believed to have been deists.

What is difference true Christianity and the Church Religion?

Some People believe that if you go to church you are a christian but it is much more than that to be a christian. There is a difference from saying you are a christian and being one. You have to put your whole life into being one, and following Gods ways. If some one was to come up to you and say " i am a skydiver." you would probably want to see them do it. If you were in a plane with them you would see that there is a difference between saying you a skydiver and actually doing the sky diving, you also have to realize that saying you are a christian because you go to church and living for Christ in and out of church are two completely different things.
