The best answer to the question would be "God is seen as a watchmaker who builds the watch, starts it, and leaves it alone." Deism is a philosophical and religious position that holds that the universe was created by a supreme being (God), who then stepped back and allowed the natural laws to govern the universe.
According to deist beliefs, God created the universe and everything in it, but then allowed humans and other living beings to operate according to their own natural laws. In other words, God built the "watch" of the universe, wound it up, and let it run on its own without any further intervention or involvement from God.
In contrast to traditional religions, which believe that God intervenes in human affairs (through miracles, revelations, and other forms of divine intervention), deists do not believe that God intervenes in the world. Instead, they see God as a distant, impersonal force, who created the world and then withdrew from any further involvement.
