A philosophical belief in a creator God who does not intervene in the universe; often contrasted with theism. Related to 理神論 (りしんろん).
See also: 理神論
Deism holds that after creating the world, God does not intervene.
理神論 is a synonym for deism, often used in philosophical contexts. 自然神教 may carry a slightly more religious or natural-theology nuance.
有神論 (theism) believes in a personal God who actively intervenes in the world, unlike deism.
Compound of 自然 (しぜん, 'nature') + 神教 (しんきょう, 'divine teaching' or 'theism'), likely a calque from Western philosophical terminology.
