Check out my article on Thomas Young on Adam Kokesh' page @adamkokesh . He was a deist, also Locke was friends with many Deists. My primary influences in this regard are Voltaire and Thomas Paine. There is an excellent book titled Natures God, by Matthew Stewart that is another good souce. He covers several of these ideas coming from Young and Ethan Allen as well as Franklin and Jefferson, he also shows a link to Epicurius of Greece as well.
