Adeist - the simple definition

It's actually pretty simple when you look at it:
An adeist is just a person, who is not a deist.

As you can see, we are dealing with a negative definition, an antonym, just like the words a-theist and a-symmetric. An a-deist, does not share the beliefs of the deist.

So, we need to know what a deist is, before we can know what an adeist is, that makes sense, right? Yeah, of course it does!

The simple definition of deist, is a person who believes that a supreme being created the universe and is no longer interfering, interventing or interacting with the universe or laws of nature (no miracles, revelations etc.).

So, now we know what an adeist is, namely a person who does NOT believes that a supreme being created the universe and is no longer interfering, interventing or interacting with the universe or laws of nature (no miracles, revelations etc.).

In this way, any theist could actually be described a an adeist, and most atheists are (depending on the definition) adeists too.

Oh, and in the same way as described above, adeism is a rejection or absense of deism.
