For me, deism is a balance between my skeptical mind and sentimental (proverbial) heart. It's a way to have such "spiritual" instincts and yet keep it all grounded in the natural universe.
But at that point, why even call it god?
And spirituality, for me, anyway, has never really dealled with the supernatural, only the wonders of the universe and the ability of humans to understand such complex things yet still have to say "We don't know" on a lot of occasions.

All the not hanging out in airports, proselytizing, the not yelling on street corners wearing a sandwich board saying "believe in the creator! He doesn't give a shit about you!", the non-existent attempts to control politics.
Yeah, those deist bastards need to be brought down!
Truth be told, I, JHC, am a recovering deist. (Hangs head in shame.)
Hold your horses there! I never said a malicious word towards any deist. I respect their freethinking as much as the next guy.
