This might be a little hard to pull off, but how might we get it so there's a deist theocracy, de facto or de jure?

I've read Paine's "The Age of Reason" and Paine appeared to believe that Judaism and Christianity were actually blasphemous--they (allegedly) insulted the Creator by claiming He was a violent, tribal god.

Ergo, I could imagine some militant Deists trying to suppress "revealed religions"--Paine was obviously too humanitarian to do this, but someone like Robespierre might.
