Not really. The World Union of Deists says that Deism is the recognition of a universal creative force greater than that demonstrated by mankind, supported by personal observation of laws and designs in nature and the universe, perpetuated and validated by the innate ability of human reason coupled with the rejection of claims made by individuals and organized religions of having received special divine revelation.
Deists believe that the universe and mankind and everything in between was created by a supernatural force that they call God. Ceremonial Deism is purely ceremonial and makes no belief claims whatsoever.
