Define God in this context, since I never came across any deist worshipping something that can be called god (singular). Nature, the universe or some pantheon, yes, but never a single god.

Also not how I experienced it. Except for wiccans to a certain degree, since they also don't worship "god" but the forces of nature that can be bent to you bidding by making an offering and some incantations.
