Only Ben Franklin was a self described Deist. All of the other signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Christian denomoniations including two Catholics.
Franklin just believed in God, no religion? Is that bad? I'm not very familiar with Deists.
He or one of his survivors must have decided to hedge his bet judging by the inscription on his grave marker in Philadelphia.
I believe only one Catholic, Charles Carroll of Maryland, was a Signer. If you know of another, please let me know. Thanks.
