Smith and Denton argued that today's teenagers follow a "moralistic therapeutic" version of this belief. Samuel Clarke distinguished four types of this belief, and Anthony Collins drew on Locke's views to defend this viewpoint, as did Matthew Tindal in the book Christianity as Old as the Creation. The cut-and-glued book The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth is said to express this idea since the (*) miracles of Christ are removed. In The Age of Reason, Thomas Paine promoted this position. Jacques-Louis David organized a festival of a religion centered on this idea, started by Robespierre, called the Cult of the Supreme Being. For 10 points, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson believed in what Enlightenment-era belief that claims God set the world into motion, but does not intervene?
