This quote does not reflect the views of [[deism]].
In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin described his upbringing and continuing respect for Christianity as follows:
:From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the Pilgrim's Progress, my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.
:My old favorite author, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress ... has been translated into most of the languages of Europe, and suppose it has been more generally read than any other book, except perhaps the Bible.
