Why do Deists believe in Heaven?

[abaris]

Yes obviously they aren't going to tell you "I believe in heaven as the bible describes it, but I don't believe in the bible", yet most of their descriptions of an afterlife are parallel or similar to that of the bible, when in reality based on their own belief, we would have no clue what an afterlife would be like let along nothing to give indication in the first place. I also said a majority hold the belief of an afterlife, not of heavens as described in the bible, my wording may have confused you, but that's what I meant.

I've lived among them, have friends among them, have been one of them. So you must have met a rather peculiar selection of deists, since most practicing deists follow a kind of Celtic mythology and that knows no afterlife. Only the wheel of life with rebirth into a new earthly existence. Might be different with people following native American cultures. I know too little about that to really say.
