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higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated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

Defined page.

Why Deism? From Mennonite to Deist
How I Became a Deist
by Chris W.
I was originally a Mennonite. I
had been raised one as far back as I can remember. Up until I was 11 I
believed in the teachings of the religion unquestionably. Then, once I
hit that age, I started to question the reliability of the bible. The
main thing that puzzled me was that if God loved each and every one of
us so much, then why would he condemn us, His own creations, to burn for
eternity if we so much as slightly disobeyed His wishes?
After these questions started to really get to me, I left the Mennonite
church. For years I searched for a belief system that made sense and
embraced logic and reason and denied superstition. I had jumped back
and forth from atheism, paganism, universalism, etc. At the time they
seemed right, however, it always came back to a question of logic and
reality. It was not until these past few months that I discovered
Deism.
After further research, I came to the realization that I was a Deist!
Here was a belief-system that embraced reality, logic and reason, and
didn't make false promises! Now that I've become a Deist, things have
become much clearer. Now, life has not seemed nearly as grim as it used
to be when I was bound down by "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.
