Answer:

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deism is the notion that the systematic features of the universe are the responsibility of God, who, however, does not influence the course of events in the universe after creation.

According to Deism, there is reason to believe that reality was created by a god, but it is impossible to obtain more precise information about this God. A key step from religion to deism is giving up believing in the truthfulness of the scriptures. Deists generally thought that because the Bible is wrong about many natural facts, God could not have written it. According to the deists, their doctrine does not require faith, but is based solely on the use of reason. According to Deism supporters, Deism is therefore not a religion.
