Uncommon Sense: Thomas Paine and ‘The Age of Reason’
Since becoming a Unitarian Universalist, I have learned (and unlearned) many things about the religious views of America’s founders. My talk is a reflection on that subject from the perspective of the provocative writings and tumultuous life of Thomas Paine. While Paine is best known as the author of “Common Sense,” the focus of this talk is “The Age of Reason,” Paine’s statement of his religious beliefs.This item appeared on Facebook private group page for Humanists of the Shoals.
