So he did credit his good behavior to a deity- at least inferentially, by suggesting people without one wouldn't have good behavior.

Now that you mention it, I have a vague recollection of that. I recall a Thanksgiving discussion in which he insisted that I couldn't feel thankful unless there was a deity to thank, which suggests that his deity would have a receptor for the thanks.

Perhaps identification with deism was a rejection of Judaism and Christianity but not entirely of their deity.
