A recent survey on religion shows there are 34
million Americans who are classified as "Nones", that is they do
not embrace any of the "revealed" religions and the vast
majority of them are not Atheists. In actuality, the vast
majority of the "Nones" are actually Deists!
The survey shows a giant step forward for Deism in the fact that it
actually uses the word "Deist" and for the very significant raw
numbers it shows as representing the number of people who are
Deists. In reality, the number of Deists is actually
higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated
definition of Deist. For a more accurate definition please see
our Deism
Defined page.

Why Deism? I knew I was a Deist.
How I Became a Deist
by Betty Roark
I have known all of my adult life that I was different from my
family members, friends, and work associates regarding religion. I
have not been baptized. I never experienced the feeling that most
people relate about their experience when they were so called
"saved". I thought that I was odd and that something was wrong with
me.
This is how I was introduced to Deism. Less than one year ago, my
boss approached me with a newspaper article from the Nashville
Tennessean. The headlines of the article had the term Deist in
it. He asked me if I knew what Deist means. I immediately went
into the search engine on my computer and a wealth of information
opened up to me. As I read I knew that I was a Deist. I haven't
stopped reading yet. I am a happier person, I am at peace with
myself, and I am thankful for the day that my Boss posed that
question to me. I read all of your E-mails. I check every day for
new ones. I forward most of them to a friend who is struggling
between Deism and Revealed Religion.

Obama is making the mixing of church and state
worse than ever before.
Obama supporters forget that when all is said and done, Obama is just another politician. This article shows he's proving that he is nothing but a politician by doing more than any other president to mix religion and government, especially through giving tax-dollars to religious organizations.
