Deism

Deism
I've been thinking a lot lately about there being a god who doesn't are about us after creation. I just don't understand the implications of this position; the Deistic position.

What does it actually mean for there to be a god if it doesn't get involved with us at all? Also, how does the Deist's life vary from that of an atheist, apart from the obvious difference in belief in a deity?
