Deist


One who believes in the existence of a God, but denies revealed religion; a freethinker.

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. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
