Perhaps, you are right. And perhaps, I still have to examine the deistic relationships with revelead reilgion. Currrently, my understanding is that deist do no subsribe to revealed religion like theist.
IMO, I think the danger in fiding 'god' is in revealed religion. I think the beauty of find god 'god' is through reason, intellect, science, and nature.
I think Theist can give 'god' attrubites. I am not sure if deist do. If they do, they do so with logic and skepticism.
They are theistic church, but not deist church. Unitarian Universalists church is the only suitable church for deist, but it is still not a diest churhc.
They are have debates upon deist if a deist church is ever possible. Some of us, believe that an academy serve for the erudition to find the nature of god through reason would be better suited than a church to find god through dogma and superstition.
