They sometimes can have the same/similar meaning.

A: Belief is a noun that is derived from the verb believe while conviction is derived from the verb convict. They are absolutely different. Belief is the idea that you yourself have a bout something and you are certain about it in a way that it has been converted into a feeling.
For example: I believe Jack is guilty. The fact that Jack is guilty is my belief (means I'm sure about it and there's no need to persuade me through evidences that he is guilty or the possibility of changing my idea about his guiltyness is very low. You cannot convince me that he isn't guilty. I know him for years and without any doubt he is guilty. I have evidences that assures me he is guilty)
It also can be used for positive thoughts. for example God is my belief

Conviction often is used for criminals . When you find someone guilty of doing sth or when you are persuaded that someone has committed a crime or a sin through evidences, observatories, witnesses, etc.

Also notice that it's different from accusation. To understand the difference, consider a court situation. At first when someone is brought to the court because of some one else's complaint, he is accused of doing the crime. No one is sure but someone claims that he has committed a crime through the evidences that have been submitted to the court.
But at last when the judge is convinced that he has committed the crime he is convicted.
accusation at the first days of a court situation is converted to conviction if the judge is assured that the person is guilty.

So I think conviction is always used in negative situation when you are sure about sth through documents and evidences but belief can be used for either negative or positive situations when you're completely, absolutely, undoubtedly sure about something.

Notice the emphasis that I've put on my last sentence.

A: According to a quick dictionary search, deism is a "belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind. Compare with theism."
Though the word itself certainly isn't commonly used in English, the meaning is easy enough to comprehend. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't heard it used more often now. I mean, how many people can actually insist on believing in theism: that not only is there some sort of a higher being, but that they also actually interfere and interact with humans? With as awful as the world often is? Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs or non-belief, but seriously... (O_O) Anyways, was there something you specifically wanted to know about deism? Or just whether it was a word that people knew of well or not?

A: I respected your decision
