Taoism vs. Deism - differences (Buddhism, followers, Revelation, experience)

[phantom]

Major differences between Taoism and Deism, aside from geographical origin?

I indulge in both ideas, Taoism seems more interconnected, whereas Deism merely awknowledges.

is that all?

The major difference is that Taoism is a religion. It is basically atheistic; there is no personal god, to whom you for example can pray. The Tao/Dao/Way is more like a principle or a natural law. (But later forms of Taoism invented gods.)

Deism refers to those philosphies/religions in which you believe in some kind of Divine Being, but repudiate revelation and religious dogma.
