Deus otiosus information

In the history of religion and philosophy, deus otiosus (Latin: "inactive god") is the belief in a creator God who has entirely withdrawn from governing the universe after creating it or is no longer involved in its daily operation.^[1] In Western philosophy the concept of deus otiosus has been associated with Deism since the 17th century, although not a core tenet as often thought.^[1]

Although this stark interpretation was accepted by very few Deists, many of their antagonists attempted to force them into the position of stating that after the original act of creation God virtually withdrew and refrained from interfering in the processes of nature and human affairs.
