Argggggggg, deism is still belief in a god, the only difference is that deists dont give it a club name, it is a generic form of god.
Deism is what an agnostic theist is. Both a Deist and theist still believe in a God. The deist simply does not assign it a label.
Hitler menifested a believe in some form of higher power which appointed him and set him upon what he thought was a destiny of unique greatness, and repeatedly expressed in private confidence during the losing years of the war that the same higher power would intervene to enable him to reach his destiny.
One might argue hitler might have blown his own brains out sooner and saved several million lives if he really had been an atheist.
