Deism is the form of theological rationalism that believes in God on the basis of reason without reference to revelation.
Or in more simpler terms, a Deist would be someone who believes in God because they have reasoned that it makes sense for God to exist, rather than just having faith in God based solely on the teachings of some authority such as a church or a supposed Divine text.
There aren't really many other tenets of Deism, since there are no texts or institutions involved to derive any rules or practices from. This leaves deism open to deists to decide what it means to them, individually.
