    Deism originated in England during the Age of Enlightenment and was influenced by the ideas of Newton and Bacon. Deists believed that God created the rational world but did not intervene in human affairs or reveal himself through scripture. They taught that human reason, not religious authorities, should guide spiritual matters. Prominent deist works included Christianity Not Mysterious and Gentilium errorumque apud eos causes. Deism sought to reduce religious conflict and the power of clergy. Followers included Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Thomas Jefferson. Modern deism sees God as distant and denies life after death.
