Deism had its followers, mostly elites, at the time of the Founders, but was never "the generalized religious belief." Thomas Paine was widely disliked for his "Age of Reason."

How many founders were even deists? Paine, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Gouverneur Morris, James Wilson... if any other than Paine were even proper deists, rather than just deist-influenced.
