     BENJAMIN 
    FRANKLIN: ATHEIST OR THEIST? 
        
    Benjamin Franklin has 
    been listed as an unbeliever. The evidence is spurious and unfounded. 
    Franklin was a strong believed in God, as he makes evident in the creed that 
    follows. 
     
    
    "Here is my creed. I believe in one God, Creator 
    of the universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That He ought to be 
    worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is doing good 
    to His children."
