DEISTIC Meaning and Definition

1. Deistic refers to the philosophical belief system known as deism. Deism is a religious and philosophical standpoint that originated during the Enlightenment period in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is based on the notion that a higher power or god exists but does not intervene in the affairs of the world or in the lives of individuals.

   The adjective "deistic" is used to describe ideas, principles, or concepts that align with or relate to deism. It signifies a belief in an impersonal and removed deity who created the universe and then stepped back, leaving it to function according to natural laws and principles without any divine intervention or ongoing involvement.

   Within deistic beliefs, God is seen as distant and disconnected from human affairs and does not partake in miracles, revelations, divine interventions, or the granting of prayers. This philosophical standpoint often rejects organized religion and places a greater emphasis on reason, science, and natural laws as the means to understanding the world.

   The term "deistic" can also be used to describe individuals who hold such beliefs or subscribe to deism as their religious ideology. They may believe in a higher power but do not follow any specific religious doctrine or worship practices. Instead, their spirituality is typically rooted in personal contemplation, reason, and a reliance on the natural world.
