Welcome To The Positive Deism Discussion Group

Deism is a belief in God based on reason and nature. If you're not familiar with Deism, we'd like to suggest that you click on the 'Deist Document' link from the drop down menu above to learn more about it.

In addition, you might want to read about....

Thomas Paine's view of Deism

or 'The Deist Primer'

or 'Deism in a Nutshell'

or 'A Deist Epistle'

Also be sure to join in our discussions at our Forum (Make sure you register in order to be able to view all the topics!).


NEW! We now have a paperback version of 'Modern Age of Reason' available for purchase at our new Positive Deism Store HERE.

From the back cover:
"Thomas Paine, who was one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, held to a religious philosophy called "Deism". "Age of Reason" was the book he wrote to share his reason-based theological beliefs with the world. The book was written in the 18th century, so we have paraphrased Mr. Paine's classic work into modern English in order to make it more accessible to modern-day readers."

Purchase of this paperback, and other items in the store, will help support the Positive Deism website.




Positive Deism is associated with a number of other Deist sites for the purpose of communicating with each other, and helping each other promote Deism into the 21st Century. Please use our 'Deist Alliance Webring' nav button to visit all of the other Deist Alliance sites. Visit the INFO Webring link to read more about The Deist Alliance.

So what is Positive Deism? Positive Deism is simply keeping our focus on what Deism is instead of focusing on what Deism isn't Click HERE to read an excellent essay that describes this principle.

Traditionally, Deism has tended to spend much of its time being anti-Christian (negative). However, in this group, we want to confine our focus to Deism. We are most concerned with everything that is Deistic in nature, and would like to advance our knowledge and experience of it (positive).

Some of our members like the concept behind our discussion group so much that they want to adopt Positive Deism as a personal philosophy or theology on its own. Read about that here.

This group is for Deists who are looking for a place to share their views and hear the views of fellow Deists without having to be involved in endless arguments with non-Deists.

Non-Deists are welcome to join, as long as they refrain from belittling our beliefs by arguing with us over the most basic tenets of Deism. This is the wrong place for that. There are other groups that are more appropriate for those types of debates.

Please see our posting policy.

We hope that you will find the Positive Deism discussion groups an enjoyable place to be, and a place you can call 'home' on the Net. Again, Welcome to Positive Deism.

Your Fellow Deist,

Steve Dowell
