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higher than the survey shows because the survey uses an outdated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.

How I Became a Deist
by Robert F. Savio
I was born into the Catholic Church
and went through the indoctrination of Catechism class; alter boy
training and of course strict adherence to the "Sacraments". I
always questioned many of the concepts and doctrines of the faith
that just did not add up but as a youth, such thoughts were heresy
and I was marched off to the Parish office to be "taught in the
faith" by the Pastor. During my life I toyed with many other
"religions" and sought the "truth" in them all. Each, in its own
way failed the test. Finally at age 65, after a lifetime of doubt,
confusion, guilt and shame (all emotions readily imposed by all of
the "revealed" faiths), I came across a website titled:
www.evilbible.com and in the
contents was a passing reference to Thomas Paine and Deism. Still on
my life long quest for truth and reason I went to the Deism site and
realized that after a lifetime of searching I had arrived. The more
I explored Deism and read THE AGE OF REASON, the more clear
it became that logic and intelligence are found in Deism alone!! I
am still learning all I can about Deism and freeing myself from the
mental and emotional bondage of the Catholic Church only THIS time
it is a journey of liberation, intelligence and joy!

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.
