Deism vs. Atheism

Thanks to all for the reply. What I still don't get is that deists claim to believe in a god, but that this god is completely inconceivable to us. So I really do not see the difference between a god we cannot get in touch with and no god at all. It simply has no impact on our lives and therefore also no implications (or does it?)

I fully agree that pantheism is atheism with different wording. But if deism is watered-down theism, it's really watered down in an homeopathical sense.
