What Is Deism?
What Is Deism?
Part of the problem with calling any of the Founders deists is the
difficulty of defining deism. What did that term mean in the eighteenth
century? Could you be a deist and somehow believe in prayer, as Franklin

made a failed motion for the convention to open its sessions in
prayer.) Could you be a deist and say with Jefferson, “I am a real
Christian”?
