Correct answer: Â D. God created an ordered universe but does not intervene in people's affairs.
Further detail:
Deism and rational religion were popular approaches to religion by philosophical thinkers during the Enlightenment. Â John Locke was one of the early proponents of this sort of approach to thinking about God. Â Deists (or we could say "God-ists") believed in God, but as a rather remote Being who had created the universe by his power and embedded in it natural laws that allowed it to run on its own from there. Â Some have compared it to viewing God as the "great watchmaker" who designed the universe as a perpetual watch or clock that could run on from there without needing his personal intervention in daily affairs of earthly life.
