Why do Deists believe in Heaven?

Belief in an interacting God would make you a theist, but not necessarily a religious one, as far as I'm aware.

im a theist who hates all religions Smile equally

an 'anti religion equalist'  (until a better name comes along ... please better name come along Undecided )

i thought all theists had to have some kind of doctrine not just believe in God

i came across the definition also that Deists do believe in God but have not had an experience of God interacting with them so i guess i am not a Deist then i havent come across many people who claim to be Deists but the few i have come across dont think of God as distant in any way so maybe we have mislabeled ourselves or maybe we are the new generation of Deists ... we shall see

well no matter what i am i believe in this :
Antitheism, also known pejoratively as "militant atheism" (despite having nothing to do with militancy) is the belief that theism and religion are harmful to society and people, and that even if theistic beliefs were true, they would be undesirable. Antitheism, which is often characterized as outspoken opposition to theism and religion, asserts that religious and especially theistic beliefs are harmful and should be discarded

(except for the fact im not an atheist)
antitheist Deist with a twist ? hmmm
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today   FSM Grin   Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one  - John Lennon

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also  - Mark Twain
