Abstract
Deism was one of the branches of radical Enlightenment which stated that God created the World, but he did not intervene into its operation. Theological dogmas are completely useless because these rules are not necessary for the prosperity of people. These ideas were very dangerous to Christianity; however, they were widespread in many parts of Europe in the 18th century. The Reformed Diocese of Békés was located in the south eastern area of the Kingdom of Hungary, whose followers practised an essentially rural way of life; therefore, they hardly read any scientific and philosophical works. In spite of this fact the spread of the ideas characteristic of deism can be observed in numerous dioceses. The reception of deism in southeast Hungary can be witnessed not in the traditional intellectual documents (school curriculum, translations, and philosophical treatises), but in the documents of the ecclesiastical government: Church attendance records, documents of the proceedings of the ecclesiastical courts. With the detailed analysis of the ecclesiastical administration documents of the Reformed Church, this study investigates how folk religion related to deism and the criticism of religion by the radical Enlightenment. Deism that appeared among the Calvinists living in the south eastern part of the Kingdom of Hungary may be relatively easily examined, because in that geographical area the Reformed Church was grouped into a single church-administrative unit, the Békés Reformed Diocese. On the contrary, the Roman Catholic Church Administration did not constitute a single block, since the territory from the Körös Rivers to the Lower Danube belonged to the bishoprics of Vác (Waitzen/ Vacov), Nagyvárad (Oradea/Großwardein) and Csanád (Tschanad/Cenad) respectively.
