Voltaire or Leibniz, religiously speaking (5)

I believe the answer is:

deist

(Other definitions for deist that I've seen before include "Believer in the existence of god" , "Believer in a creator" , "One who believes" , "Sort of believer" , "Religious believer" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
