There are several things to consider when reading 18th century, and prior, books on Deism is that the Deists of the time were not far away from their Christian, and in the case of Spinoza, Jewish roots and many of the previous concepts...heaven, hell, providence, and others were still engrained in the thought processes of the Deists who were laying new ground as far as the philosophy of Deism was concerned.

Only in the last few years has Deism gone through a renaissance of sorts and has slowly gained interest.  I am currently working on a book about modern Deism and its importance as, "The God Alternative."

We have Atheism on the left, and Theism on the right...I hope to plant Deism right in the middle and offer it as a serious, viable alternative to those not comfortable with the left or the right and I believe that once people are truly aware of what Deism really is, that they will identify with it and feel quite comfortable about their faith in their belief....Deism is, after all, a non-prophet religion!

Movies?  Mindwalk is a very powerful movie to me though it can't be considered a Deist movie...it covers the concepts which make me stand in awe of the universe every day.
