There was a bit of a public debate a few years ago (maybe more than a few years ago) whether belief in God was necessary for Unitarianism. IIRC, there was a smallish schism as a result of the debate between the deists and atheists.
From the little that I know of Quakerism, I would think that at least some level of deism would be necessary, but who knows.
Graham Greene had a short story, “The Last Word,” (the title story of his final story collection) which posited a world in which atheism had become nearly universal and the military dictator summoned the last believer, the Pope who had become senile with age to assassinate him. After shooting him, he began to have doubts about his atheism and faith continued.
