The Enlightenment Religion of Deism
View through CrossRef
Abstract
It is free from all those invented and torturing articles that shock our reason ... with which the Christian religion abounds. Its creed is pure and sublimely simple. It believes in God, and there it rests. It honours Reason as the choicest gift of God to man and the faculty by which he is enabled to contemplate the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator displayed in the creation; And reposing itself on his protection, both here and hereafter, it avoids all presumptuous beliefs and rejects, as the fabulous inventions of men, all books pretending to revelation.
