I'm curious. Can you elaborate?

Jesus Christ as a god, and the entire notion of a "revealed" or "inspired" word of God. We see these as a denial of the nature of God.

When a Deist speaks of the will of God, he is speaking of the laws of nature. Paine argued against slavery from the laws of nature, for example. The words Fate, Providence and God all have the same natural meaning to a Deist.

Deists view science as a quest to understand God, a very noble cause. We do not consider the words written by men in the Bible superior to science. We don't try to dictate to God through prayer, a simple "Thank You" does the job without need of a prayer book or beads.

Last but not least, we consider the zealots of the revealed religions a danger to liberty...A self evident truth of Nature.
