Deism vs. Theism is only one of the issues of the late 18th century  
that are completely lost to educated people today.

Given their  near-perfect ignorance of the arguments at the time  
(such as Paine's Rights of Man) exhibited by most educated people  
today, especially those who have the temerity to claim that they know  
what the US founders meant, it is not surprising that religious  
nutcases can assert anything they damn well please.
