Aristotelians [1]

The followers of Aristotle. They believed in the eternity of the world, and represented the Deity as somewhat similar to a principle of power giving motion to a machine; and as happy in the contemplation of himself, but regardless of human affairs. They were uncertain as to the immortality of the soul.

As this was rather a philosophical than religious sect, we shall not enlarge on it.
