Well, there's little practical difference between the two. For me, deism is a truce between my skeptical brain and lofty sentiments about the wonders of this universe, a grand machine as I see it. As Hitchens once said, "the natural universe is wonderful enough". It also fits with my hope for the future, that humanity has a noble destiny in spite of all our current struggles in our technological adolescence. We are evolving not just biologically but morally, and I hope our descendants look back on us like we look upon the Dark Ages.
