The Five Principles of Deism (established by the “Father of Deism”, Herbert of Cherbury)
1. There is one God who created the world but who no longer intervenes by either revelation or miracle.
2. There is an objective difference between right and wrong.
3. The duty of one’s life is to support that which is right.
4. The soul is immortal.
5. Our condition in the life to come is based on our ethical conduct in this life.
