Did you know the following "facts" about Deism is actually mythys?
* A FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE OF DEISM IS THAT IT BELIEVES THAT THE DEITY (GOD) ABANDONED CREATION.
This is wrong!!! A lot of Deists believe this, because it answers the question why does a benevolent God allow evil in the world. But not all accept this position. I certainly don't!!!
* DEISM IS A DEAD OR EXTINCT RELIGION.
Actually, Deism is the fastest growing religion in the United States!!! See http://www.sullivan-county.com/identity/deism_grows.htm for confirmation. The charts says that Deism grew 717% between 1990 and 2000.
* DEISTS ARE IMMORAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SPECICIFIC COMMANDMENTS.
If you study the history of Deism as comapred to the histories of Christianity and Islam, Deism is a lot more moral. Deism didn't have any Jihads (Islam), crusades (Christianity), inquisitions (Christianity), or forced conversions (both). Which religion is immoral again?

Deism is the belief in a Deity (a God or Goddess, I believe It is neither because It has no Gender) based upon Reason, Nature, and/or anything else that is not Revelation (anything that the Deity transmitted to mankind through humans (including holy texts and oral traditions).
My religion is based upon Creation and Reason.

The reasons that Deists are "moral" compared to the rest of us, is that they have been around for only a couple hundred years instead of thousands.

In America we have freedom of religion! I'll continue to follow my faith and I allow you to do the same. Don't bug us with your beliefs. We don't care.
