I found the space in between Agnosticism and Atheism to be cool and dry. For some, those choices are right, but not for everyone, not for me. The faith of my fathers clearly no longer worked for me. I had outgrown blind faith. My mind had expanded beyond those strictures. The words no longer rang true. In terms of religion, I knew what I wasn't, but I didn't know what I was. Walking away was important, but for a few decades I was just wandering, and I needed a spiritual goal. Then I discovered Deism and realized that was what I believed.

The Church of Nature's God has undergone continuous revision since its inception. The latest major addition has been the Discussion Forum where we are trying to build a Deist Fellowship. It is still a small group, but the members are enthusiastic. We have just started a Deist Guide program and a Deist Academy. Come join us. Click on Fellowship Forum at left or News.

Deist churches do not seem to last. We are trying to offer the fellowship that Deism is often lacking. The Tao Te Ching says, "Whatever is flexible and flowing will tend to grow; whatever is rigid and blocked will wither and die."  The Church intends to survive. The Church is now a legal entity in the State of Texas.

The true Church of Nature's God is inside each and every one of us, and you can discover it everywhere in nature. It is as individual as you are. To become a member, you only must decide that you are one. Freethinkers do not need a church for the purpose of worshiping any Deity. Nature's God does not need worship, although some find comfort in giving thanks to the Creator.

We don't need a church building. A building is restrictive and limiting and unnecessary. The Church has no physical presence, no roof, no walls. We do not need to be shielded from the elements in cyberspace. The Church has a virtual, but very real presence here where you have found it. People seeking spirituality don't need an elaborate organization. For those who want to belong, to feel a sense of community, spend time, study the possibilities and expand their horizons, the Church of Nature's God hopes to help you fulfill those wants and needs.

The latest addition to the Church is a discussion forum for exploring ways of building a Deist fellowship. This is a feature the Church had to add at some time. The Church cannot build a fellowship as a church of one. Join us in this exploration by clicking the link at left.

There is no one way all people must think. It is only necessary that they do think, that they use their most precious gift, the gift of reason, to find their own path. The Church of Nature's God is the church that you don't need. But if you want to share your discoveries while you are on your journey, drop in for a while.

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God." -- Albert Einstein
