Sorry Clyde, but that's not the case. Deists don't believe in organized religion. They don't believe in holy doctrine such as the Bible. They don't believe there is an afterlife. They believe prayer is a waste of time, and that man's true purpose is to rationalize the universe. No, this all runs counter to Deistic beliefs.

Not true. They simply do not believe in revealed religion. However one of the tenants of Deism is that God's benevolence is self-evident. Therefore whatever happens after death, while unknown, cannot be bad.

OK, I said up top that I know nothing about Deism. I can speak only for myself, but I don't see why a 'God is a watchmaker' Deist would have trouble attending a Christian church.

A deist is a very tolerant atheist, seems to me.
