Are you a Deist or an Atheist?
Deists belief that a "God" exists, and that this (and religious truth in general) can be determined using reason and observation of the natural world alone, without a need for either faith or organized religion. Deists reject the notion of divine interventions in human affairs, such as by miracles and revelations.
Atheist believe there is no "god"

I am an atheist. I believe Deism is incorrect, or I would be a Deist.

I'm an atheist that was for a long time, a deist. Really I see it as the most reasonable form of theism as it lines up with what we see (No evidence for god is pretty much...exactly what deism expects), but it ultimately makes no difference save for what one feels is true as its the same as being atheist in practice, as any of the religions, such as Buddhism, that an atheist can be a deist can be (or not) as well.

I'm an atheist. To me that means that I think that the probability of the existence of any god is extremely low.
Deism just doesn't make any sense to me. Theists (including deists), when wondering about existence and the universe always first ask "who". Atheists ask only "how" and "why".

I am an atheist. I don't believe god or gods exists, but I don't know if god or gods exists. Deism is something I will never understand, especially the reason part.

Agnostic. I think deists are a little silly. I can see such a God existing, but see no utility in assuming he does.

One way I heard someone else put it:
"Deism is for non-religious folk who still want an imaginary friend."
If that's what you believe, fine, whatever. I just don't see a point to it myself.

neutral - everyone is entitled to their own personal beliefs/lack of beliefs, Deists are among the tamer religious sorts, they don't really try forcing their ideology into secular laws or education

-Atheist believe there is no "god"-
FALSE. Atheism is lack of belief in god(s).
Deism is just watered down theism.

"Are you a Deist or an Atheist?"
I'm not into humping invisible sky critters... does that make me an a-theist.
