You might as well go back to church.
That seems a little harsh as well as paranoid. Is atheism so hard or important to sustain that we should guard against falling away from it? I think I am just an atheist out of lack of sufficient reason to form any beliefs about gods, whatever to hell those might be. I say keep your eyes wide open and let the chips fall where they may. If deism doesn't work, he'll give it up. If he finds enough fit there, he'll stay there. What do we care?
