The links to the right lead to some primers that should be helpful for those just learning about Deism, especially the Deism of today.

A primer covers the elementary principles of a subject. In these primers you will learn some of the basic beliefs of contemporary Deists. These explanations necessarily represent the views of only the authors, but they resemble the views of many Deists.

Stephen Zinn's primer and Joe Hardwick's primer represent two of the best available. The webmaster also shares his views on how Deists can believe so many things, but still remain Deists. The Positive Deism primer on modern Deism gives us an excellent view of contemporary Deism. The Absolute Astronomy overview of Deism covers everything from history to modern Deism in concise fashion on a single page.
