At first glance, that statement by a deist would seem to be loaded with oxymoron-laden elements. However, this is not the case for Religious Deists (RDs) and maybe it shouldn’t be for many other deists either. RDs have a unique, arguably positive perspective about organized and even revealed religion that most other deists do not. …
The second article of the RD creed mentions three ways that RDs should “worship” God: “2. Worship of God – That the way God wants us to worship Him is by recognizing the gift of human life and dedicating our lives to three pursuits: A. Raising loving families – In the importance of family and …
In a previous blog article, we explained the similarities and (mostly) differences between Religious Deism (RD) and the purposefully theologically vague Universalist Unitarian Church (UUC). With the new primary focus of RD efforts being on disillusioned Christians or former Christians, we thought it would be appropriate and important to talk about the similarities and differences …
Sorry about the hiatus with regards to the RD blog posts. However, we had two important internal issues related to a form and a substance issue that we felt that we needed to discuss and resolve before continuing forward. 1. Form – During this past year, we came to realize that one of the reasons …
The most important element of Religious Deism (RD) theology, as described in its creed, is having children and raising a family. While one can assume from Christianity and Islamic doctrine that children and family are important, neither one of their creeds or professions of faith mention this at all and their holy books only nominally …
Sorry about our hiatus during the last 2 plus months. We would like to mention a short, five point answer to this fundamental question. However, we would also like to mention that we have a 27 page section of our upcoming book on Religious Deism that we can send to you that goes into much …

Most religions that believe in an afterlife, believe that the afterlife exists because God exists. However, Religious Deists believe that because an afterlife must exist for life on earth to make any sense, this is a …
It is funny how in many if not most religions today, the issue of why people believe in God is glossed over, overlooked or almost forgotten. In this regard, atheists and to some extent deists have of course focused more on this subject than Christians. However, they wrongly base their search for God or His …
In the Religious Deism (RD) website, there is a tab called “Comparative Table” that mentions what RD has in common and is different from Christianity, deism and atheism/agnosticism. However, some people have asked us if we are anything like Unitarian Universalists (UUC). This has been based on the fact that it is a religion that …
On the Religious Deism website, we demonstrate how Washington, Madison, Monroe and Benjamin Franklin were self processed Christians but truly deists with many Religious Deism leanings. On the Religious Deism website, we also demonstrate how Jefferson, who never professed for one Christian Religion, and John Adams, a Unitarian, were nontheless theological deists with similar Religious …
