It seems that when transitioning from Islamo-Christianity to atheism, deism is a common way station, kind of like a place to sleep for the night on a lengthy journey, which the road to atheism typically is for most people who deconvert from a religion. I think the only people who actually live in my town (or perhaps more accurately, a suburb of the greater metropolitan area of the city of atheism, if you'll pardon me really stretching this analogy past the normal breaking point) are those who were raised without religion.
