Yeah it's a belief that God created the world, but does not intervene in the world anymore. Basically I think he just created the world (to what extent I'm not sure) and then left it alone. 

I like it because it let's me believe in an intelligent creator, but doesn't conflict with science/evolution. 

It was popular with the founding fathers. Washington, Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Newton, and many others are notable Deists. 

Oh. Thanks for letting me know!
