What is the Deist Alliance?
The Deist Alliance (DA) consists of a number of Deist groups who have formed
a friendly alliance with one another to open channels of communication, share
information, resources and advice, and generally work together towards the
higher goal of promoting Deism to the world.
Each of the groups represented in the DA has a unique focus on Deism and Deist
concepts, but all realize that each member group is making a valuable
contribution to the modern Deist movement. We feel that by opening channels of
communication between our groups, we can make each Deist group stronger and form
a more unified front for modern and constructive Deism in the 21st Century.
By it's very nature, Deism expects people to use their reasoning powers to
arrive at an understanding of God and our place and purpose in the universe.
Since Deism has no dogma, this means that everyone is likely to come to a
different conclusion. Each of us will have a different idea about how best to
experience and promote Deism in our life. But rather than fight these
differences and allow ourselves to devolve into incompatible factions, we feel
it is better and more beneficial to embrace our differences to the greatest
extent possible. By valuing and cherishing our differences, we all learn and
grow, and in the process, we represent Deism as the multi-faceted jewel that it
is.
The Deist Alliance has no leader. It's not about setting up some sort of
controlling organization for Deists. The DA is simply a voluntary alliance of
Deist groups who act through consensus. It's about keeping lines of
communication open between compatible Deist groups with the hope of benefiting
one another and promoting constructive Deism in general.
So far the concept has worked very well. DA members work in friendship, despite
differing political, social and Deistic views. The DA hopes to continue its
cooperative work to promote Deism, and we remain open to others who might want
to join. If the Deist Alliance sounds like it may be of interest to you, please

Associate membership is also available to individual Deists who share in our vision. Come grow with us. Help us find new and better ways to promote the constructive form of Deism that plays such an important role in our lives.
The Creation is the only word of God we can all trust.
