I chose deism for several reasons. But to explain that properly, I first have to explain how and why I left Islam. One of the earliest influences was my upbringing. I grew up in the USA, although I’m not a U.S. citizen. I returned to my home country when I was around 15, and later, at the age of 20, I started working to support my family during a financially difficult time. I was already living in a dysfunctional home, and all I wanted was to pursue an undergraduate degree, w

After nearly 30 years of searching, questioning, doubting, believing, leaving, and returning to different ideas about God, I finally feel that I have come home. What I have found is not a new religion in the traditional sense, but a certainty — a quiet, grounded conviction in God through Deism. And the relief I feel is almost overwhelming. It is deeply, profoundly freeing. For most of my life, my spiritual journey has been intense and restless. I have explored structured reli

Today, January 29, 2026, is the 289th birthday of Thomas Paine, the most overlooked and often ignored of America's Founders. He is ignored due to his Deism and his untiring work to promote Deism to as many people as possible. Just as he worked and contributed to getting the American Revolution started and seeing it through to its successful end, so he worked and contributed to bringing about a Deism Revolution in Religion. In The Age of Reason he wrote, "Soon after I had pu

(Many people believe Deism is restricted to belief that The Supreme Intelligence/God is impersonal and never intervenes with people or the Creation. That is factually incorrect. Some Deists believe The Supreme Intelligence/God never intervenes, some Deists believe The Supreme Intelligence/God does intervene and some Deists are not sure. This freedom of belief in Deism is due to Deism being free from man-made dogmas as the "revealed" religions suffer from. In fact, the most im

All of the man-made "revealed" Abrahamic religions are very misogynistic. Judaism shows its anti-women, and anti-Gentile, core with its daily morning blessing, the Birkot HaShachar (בִּרְכוֹת הַשַּׁחַר – "Morning Blessings" or "Dawn Blessings"), which Orthodox Jews recite. The blessing includes, בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁלֹּא עָשַׂנִי גּוֹי (Blessed are You… who has not made me a gentile) בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁלֹּא עָשַׂנִי

Judaism is the original Abrahamic man-made "revealed" religion. The Abrahamic "revealed" religions of Christianity, Islam, Mormonism and Baha'i, are all offshoots of Judaism. All "revealed" religions claim that they are based on a revelation from God to their founder or to other religious leaders. When people believe in Judaism, or any "revealed" religion, they are NOT believing in God, they are believing in the claim made by the religion and by its founder(s) of having rece
