Why would atheists and deists be unlikely bedfellows? My wife is an atheist so that's literally the case in my life.
The only difference between me and an atheist are some abstract philosophical musings, so much so that they have no practical impact on how I live my life.
I see no reason to think God wants to be worshiped or is even aware of us on any personal level (think scientist and a cultivated bacteria colony in a dish and that's the scale I perceive). I also have no "souls" to save (I don't believe in an afterlife). There is no church organization I'm seeking to promote. There are zero meaningful conflicts between deism and atheism.
