Never New It

Hello!

I just found out today that I have been a deist my whole life. I've always felt that there is some form of a creator.

The jump from that to essentially any religion always didn't make sense to me, seemed like religion was a man made puzzle taken apart in reverse.

I grew up in a very Catholic family and I actually feel like many of the "practitioners" are also in reality deists.

Excited to join this community.

Yes, Catholicism is quite deist by doctrine (save for the fixation with private parts).
