Deists assert that God created the world and then left it to operate under natural laws. Deism emphasizes ethical conduct and rejects supernatural aspects of religion.

Furthermore, it is a philosophical position and rationalistic theology that rejects revelation as a source of divine knowledge.

I grew up a Christian. Perhaps I have evolved into more a Deist than a Christian.

Deism is just religious cooptation of reason-besed animism which acknowledges the obviousness of a Creator about which nothing can be known but whose example (Creation) can be followed, like you said, by hewing to Natural Law.
