Only if he makes it public. If he chooses to show up at a church or other religious house, he's making it public. If he keeps it within his family and friends, he's keeping it private. We can't know what he doesn't let out.
Let's not get postmodern here! Words mean things!nor do I think Deism has to mean one thing for all people. What you are describing is historically accurate, but as with anything in history symbols change as people and culture change around it.
That said, I'm with the guy who suggested he's Episcopal, like much of St. Croix.

Quite right. Even then, though, his religion is public with the ones he knows.
Religion has almost always had a public component, going back to the beginnings of civilization. We in the West seem to be the exception in this regard.
Well according to two myspace fansites he's catholic, though i can't find that anywhere else. Most Virgin islanders are either Baptist, catholic, or epicopalian. I'm guessing Duncan practiceses in the church of indifference.
I use deism over agnosticism because agnosticism never has been a belief system that can be attributed to somebody, rather it serves our language as a negating descriptor only. IE- "I do not believe in <insert organized religions offending characteristic here.>" Deism while historically has meant one thing it has at it's very core that which agnosticism does not, a central theme of beliefs that are tenants of faith.Let's not get postmodern here! Words mean things!

Therefore I called Duncan a deist. Someone who at his very core probably believes in God, but not one that is necessarily described by the biblical account. He was most likely raised to be an episcopal church member, but I am not so quick to attribute a fully Christian world view to Duncan when he wore a yin yang pendant.
If he is Catholic that would be totally cool cos I am one too! I never really thought I'd ever find people who are bigger fans of Tim than I am! And thats saying a lot cos I really think I am his biggest fan here where Im from
Welcome to the forum. I think you'll find a couple of big Duncan fans here.
Yeah which is good to know coz there are people who understand how much I love him! And my friends here dont like him cos he keeps on killing their teams (most current one, Suns). Hey duncan228 maybe you got some really interesting stuff you can send to me about him? I really wanna see and read all the stuff casual fans do not know about him! Like that awesome pic of him with his wife, baby and Bateer!

Church of XBOX
its one of the sublte and yet most profound moment in a person's life when a belief is either strengthened or dismantled e.g. when a child finally learns that there is no santa (laugh if you will, but that is profound).
If he's from the islands, you forgot one other religion possibility. The Rastafarians. Duncan could be right there with Bob Marley but isn't as stupid as Josh Howard in admitting pot use. Hallie Selassie baby!!
Druid
Robert Pack became one not too long ago. Seriously too. He lives over near the Hebron/Carrolton area. On the side, I work under him as a travel agent and play basketball with him from time to time. The dude is still in amazing shape and can still jump out of this world. It's really not even fun to play with him because he makes everyone else look so bad.
I can create a myspace right now and say it's Tony Parker's..............Bad source
So true in my case. when I found this out, it was the 1st day of the rest of my life. The true wake up call. It cause me to question EVERYTHING that I have been told ever since. I trust no ones statements with proof period. The santa bull needs to be rework at the very least. BAH humbug, thus the phase "Happy Holidays".
Tim is a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
He has a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Is he a druid, a pagan? j/k
Spurology
The Chinese person in the middle is not a lesbian.
He's a former Spur.
He's a fundamentalist, obviously.
Timmy has his own religion....rub his belly or go yourselves
Yikes! What was he thinking?
Did his wife drag him in? Was he raised a JW? Or did he not do too much research?
Tim used to be a Branch Davidian, but gave that up after God struck down Mt. Carmal.
Now Tim is a Christian disciple of Origen Adamantius of Alexandria:
Origen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origen
I happen to be a student of the Patristics -- Origen being one of them.
Given Tim's cerebral nature, tt would not surprise me if, indeed, he were a student of the writings of Augustine, Origen, Irenaeus, et al. That is, of course, if he were a Christian. On the other hand, I've never met a single cultist (Branch Davidian, Jehovah's Witness, Christian Scientist) who ever read much, or knew much, about the early church and its teachers. So part of your statement must be false.
