Webster's Dictionary (GCIDE)

Deist \De"ist\ (d[=e]"[i^]st), n. [L. deus god: cf. F. d['e]iste. See Deity.] One who believes in the existence of a God, but denies revealed religion; a freethinker. [1913 Webster]

Note: A deist, as denying a revelation, is opposed to a Christian; as, opposed to the denier of a God, whether atheist or pantheist, a deist is generally denominated theist. --Latham.

Syn: See Infidel. Deistic
