[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695545, member: 1963"] Rebelson, I am glad the retreat was a good experience for you. I do want to point out one thing though. You are getting Deists mixed up with Atheists. Deists believe in a "higher power" but do not necessarily follow a given religion. Atheists do not believe in any deity or higher power. Thomas Jefferson is a good example of both a Freethinker and a Deist. He did believe in some sort of "creator", but was adamantly not in favor of organized religion. Several of the "founding fathers" believed similarly to Jefferson. [/QUOTE]
