Do you consider yourself spiritual, but not religious? Do you want to examine the possibility of a power greater than man, but free of dogma and clergy? Are science, reason and nature the most important features of your worldview?

You might be a Deist.

People are moving away from organized religion. According to a 2008 survey, 12 percent of Americans believe in God, but not the God of mainstream religion. They believe in a deistic God, a God who does not intervene.

Another 12 percent are not sure that God exists, which means nearly a quarter of the U.S. population may be Freethinkers. This is a book for Freethinkers.

Deism did not die out in the 18h century. In fact, Deism is a category of belief that is growing across the United States and throughout the world. In this book we explore many various opinions from the world of Deist belief through the eyes of contributors to the Contemporary Deism Project, an effort to promote the wider dissemination of information about modern, constructive Deism.

Come explore with us the rich tapestry of diverse and reasoned thought that comprises contemporary Deism.
