Atheism and Deism

I am thinking: The word atheism can be misinterpreted as it fits both concepts inside : the belief that there is no god, and the belief that there is no reason to believe that there is god, so better live like there isn't one. Since deism also suggests that there might be a god creator (of the universe) but this doesn't interfere at all with all the scientific evidence about origin of life, evolution etc as well as the way we should live, ethics etc , are there any differences between atheism and deism other than the philosophical or scientific debate of the creator or not?
