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higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated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? . . . the one belief system that
actually made sense.
How I Became a Deist
by Megan
Ever since my early teens, I've
been unsatisfied with the religion I was raised to believe. While I
still loved God with all my heart, I had the hardest time accepting the
"facts" in the Bible. So many Christians that I knew were quick to
preach, and the exact opposite of what I consider "christ-like". I felt
so guilty for even questioning Christianity, and I was afraid to go to
hell just because I didn't agree with the belief that one set of rules
could apply to and control the choices of so many people. I eventually
decided that I didn't have to belong to a religion to love God, but I
still didn't like not having a name for the way I felt and believed.
One day I was in the library with an Atheist friend of mine and we got
into a discussion where Deism was brought up. All I knew of Deism was
the minimal information from history class in regards to our founding
fathers. As I do whenever I come across something that I don't know much
about, I decided to do some research. I was first led to an article on
Wikipedia, where I saw several links to websites of modern Deist
societies, which led me to deism.com. As I was reading about the basic
history and beliefs of Deism, I finally felt like I had found the one
belief system that actually made sense. It wasn't even like hearing a
good idea that you would consider adopting as a personal philosophy, it
was like having your own thoughts and feelings written down in an
articulate way, and then given a name. After years of guilt and
searching, I finally felt free in my beliefs. Thank-you so much so
making an effort to spread light and reason in the world, and to set
free those trapped in the illogical chains of revealed religion!
