As far as I'm concerned, not much at all. The whole god concept just makes no sense to me, no matter how you slice it.

The deist actually believes that God exists, just that God isn't particularly interested in the activities of mortal man. God is seen as a distant, far-off judge, kind of like the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He is known to exist, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever meet, unless some freakish movement of law brings us together.
The athiest does not believe that ANY God exists, whether near or far. There is no judge to meet.

they're very subtly distinctive and it took me a on the same time as to wrap my head around the version. to assert you have faith there's no god is a good assertion and all valuable assertions require information (information, logical argument, and so on.). to assert you do no longer (or lack) have faith in god ability you're no longer likely to this point as to declare god does not exist however the information you have seen to this point is unconvincing (and would constantly be so). this is how I understand the version. just about, as in how an atheist lives his or her existence, i think of it makes no distinction. for my area i do no longer have faith god exists and that i'm constantly open to information in view this is the regular lifestyle that i think of is right. As to god specifically, i substitute into extremely non secular in my youth and that serves because of the fact nearly all of the information that I actual have come during. no longer the rest asserted to be information for god relatively stands as much as scrutiny. I actual have not examine the completed Bible, yet then i haven't examine the Koran, Hindu texts, or different non secular texts the two. i do no longer think of this is had to accomplish that. The have been written via guy and can't incorporate in them information of the assertions they declare to be authentic. No document can try this (nicely, until the document is a logical argument i assume, yet this is a particular case).

I think the distance is called limbo to some, and etrernal hell to others.
