Deism is a belief in the existence of a supreme being, typically characterized by the rejection of organized religion and revelation as sources of knowledge about God. It emphasizes the use of reason and observation to determine the existence and nature of God. In this hierarchy, Deism fits under Absurdism due to their shared skepticism towards established religious doctrines. However, while Absurdism often leads to a nihilistic or existentialist worldview, Deism posits that a rational understanding of God's existence and design of the universe is possible. This perspective differentiates Deism from both organized religion and atheism, which rejects the existence of any deity.
