Ah, but those clergy WEREN'T Deists. In fact, the Deists has no clergy or need of them. 11. Is there a Church of Deism? Are there ordained Deist clergy? Such ideas would seem to contradict the very concept of Deism, which values individual reason and rejects scripture, credos or church authorities. Yet, there have been efforts in the past to create such a "church", at least informally and as an online community. There are some Deists and other free-thinkers who envy the fellowship that comes with a church. Being a free-thinker can be a lonely choice. They also sometimes like the ceremonies, music and celebrations that come with annual holidays and milestones of life like birth or marriage. It's easy to understand why some would like to try putting together such a church. deism.org
