I’m still waiting for the Deists’s bible that states their beliefs. You view seems more Judeo-christian.

The deist view is that there is a god who created the universe and all in it: however, that god does not have a personal relationship with, nor direct communication with, humanity.

So the concept of a "deist bible" is an oxymoron.

But Ranger, you are close to the mark when you ask "what's the difference" between an atheist and a deist.

As an atheist myself, I see that the difference between my unbelief and "belief in god" is a relatively short step compared with "belief in god" versus "belief in the God of the Bible" which is an enormous chasm.
