Deists believe, to put this simply, in a God who created the universe according to the scientific principles we observe for ourselves, and that this same God gave us the gift of reason, with which we understand the universe.

This God however is limited ONLY to creating the universe, and setting up those initial principles which allowed the universe to come into being as it is today.

To answer the question, atheism is similar to deism in that it rejects superstition and replaces it with scientific and logic principles, but the major difference is that in the case of the deist, there exists a God who gave us those principles.
