NOTES

A Revolutionary Philosophical Work. 'It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine, and murder, for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man.' The Age of Reason was written by Thomas Paine as a Deist text in the late 18th century; it was well received in the United States but seen as too incendiary in the United Kingdom. The Age of Reason challenges the idea of state religion and the legitimacy of the Bible
