American founder and Deist Thomas Paine called for a revolution in religion based on our innate God-given reason and Deism. Mass knowledge of this can help people free themselves from religious influence and stop the US from becoming a theocracy.

The last person murdered by the Spanish Inquisition was the Deist Cayetano Ripoll. Too few people are aware of Cayetano Ripoll, Deism and the fact that the Spanish Inquisition was still killing "heretics" into the 19th century.
