how to Define DEISM for a 12 year old

Question

(short answer)

Answer 1

Deism is a belief that says there is a higher power, like a creator, who made the universe and set everything in motion. But after that, this higher power is not involved in our lives or doesn't interfere with how things happen. It's like a clockmaker who makes a clock and sets it running, but doesn't interfere with how it tells time.
