He was a deist, which is belief in a deity without religion. Armstrong rarely if ever publicly discussed his faith, but according to "First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong" by James R. Hansen, he was a deist. The most direct evidence for this was when he applied to lead a Boy Scout group in the late 1950s, writing in "Deist" for his religious affiliation.

There is a persistent rumor that Armstrong converted to Islam after his experience on the moon, but this rumor is not only unverified, it has been explicitly denied by Armstrong on numerous occasions.
