The benefit of Deism, is that it avoids the particularism of the competing cults (religions) and instead says that yes, there is a universal ethical and moral law, and that law is not the work of man but the work of nature and nature’s god. Religions are competing opinions. Laws of nature are monopolies. As such any religion that claims opposition to the natural law of cooperation is in fact false. There is no need for supernatural origins other than the fact that you probably do not like, trust, and in fact likely hate your neighbor – which of course, is why and how monopoly religons of abrahamism came into existence: separatism.
