Deism in your Nation.

Deism, for those who don't know, is a belief in which one believes in a God due to Reason and Logic. Famous Deists include John Locke, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Robbespierre, etc. Our President, Joseph Stenger is a Deist, but tell me. How are Deists treated in your nation?

Deism is a very common belief in Alizeria. Although most of the country claim to be Christian, or a form thereof, the reality is that church attendance figures are falling and most people are deists without knowing they're deists - that is, they have a vague belief in 'god' but it doesn't really affect their lives to any great degree.

Not very popular as 91% of Arabians are (Sunni) Muslims with the later 9% belonging to Syriac Christianity, Maronite Christianity and Judaism.

Deism is the second most popular Irreligious religious categorization after Ignosticism with almost five thousand people claiming to be that.

Deism is rare among Skins. We say there is no reason or logic in believing in a god, because a god would raise even more questions that deists tend to ignore. "Where did the god come from?" "Why's he existed forever and not the universe?" "Why does his existence not demand a cause?" Questions, questions...

Not really common, though some people spend time trying to figure out the logic. We call them interesting research-logic on-existence-of-deity debaters.

It is the third most popular belief system in out nation. Coming out below pantheism and the traditional paganism but slightly ahead of atheism in terms of popularity. According to recent estimates about 12% of our population are Diests.

Deism isn't popular but it is very much respected as much as other beliefs.

by **Tolmakia** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:22 pm

Deism is quite popular, and makes up a major percentage of the Tolmakian population. Since Tolmakia has the freedom of religion, Deism is respected. The most major religion is Christianity, followed by Protestantism, then by irreligious and miscellaneous.

Bessford Be, the richest creature in TurtleShroom, is a deist. Deism and Agnosticism- generally considered similar but not synomic - are hand over fist, more abundant than Atheism because of TurtleShroom's attitude towards religion. Here, denying the existence of a god or being, anything, is seen as if one is denying the existence of trees.

In TurtleShroom, Deism is seen as "the belief that a god or some sort of divine or god-like force exists and/or created the universe, but then proceeded to walk away from its Creation". Basically, Deism is the idea that a god exists, but that he, she, or it doesn't interact with society or most anything. (Thus, Deists do not pray.)

Most of TurtleShroom's greatest non-religious minds are Deists, and the rest of them are generally Agnostic. True, pure Atheism is a very rare, almost unheard of, concept. Most Atheists take jobs that no one else wants because they either violate the teachings of their faith or otherwise render weaker creatures wracked with guilt.

TurtleShroom's main religion is Christianity. The number one denomination are the Southern Baptist Protestants.
