Deists--Founders who believe in God--would hardly approve of the secular juggernaut imposed on Americans of faith.

Deism, is a word that comes from the Latin word “Deus” that means God. So, Deism means a belief in God.

Deism has come to mean a religion or classification of believing in God b/c those who are Deists believe that they can best understand God through reason and nature.
