About the Author

John Armstrong has been a deist all his life, although he never realized it until reading Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. Since that discovery, he's worked to promote the cause of both deism and freethought in general. Serving as the media representative for Universism (a union of freethinkers, including such diverse philosophies from atheism to transcendentalism), he was interviewed on notable news programs as CNN with Anderson Cooper (Anderson Cooper 360), Fox News Radio (the Alan Colmes Show) as well as on conservative talk radio shows such as Lars Larson and Jerry Doyle.

His local activities in Louisville has included moderating "Christianity in Question", a panel discussion following the Louisville Premier of "The God Who wasn't There" featuring the movie's screenwriter, Brian Flemming, as well as local Christian leaders, Dr. Russell Moore, Dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Dr. Joseph Phelps of the Highland Baptist Church. He has also preached from the pulpit about the message of deism to a congregation at the First Unitarian Church in Louisville. He served as the author and editor of deism.org for two years and currently managing his own website, godvsthebible.com.

He's one of three co-organizers of the Louisville Atheists and Freethinkers

He dreams that one day all of humanity will be freed from the shackles of faith.
