American Deism

1 post in this topic

This was a toss up to include in this forum or the political one. Also, I realize Deism is Deism, there is no American Deism, but I am more curious for the sake of this question how Deism impacted America/the US.  I find it interesting how most of the founding fathers were Deists as opposed to Christians, I question whether they were even truly Christian-Deists. I also find it interesting how Deism contributed to the Western enlightenment period (not to ne confused with eastern enlightenment). I think spiral dynamics would be a great model to explain the implications of Deism on American spiritual, intellectual and government/societal evolutions. We still have a far way to go, though, lol and have taken some steps back, but I'm hopeful for the future. Does anyone know about this subject?
