The Age of Reason

'The Age of Reason' by Thomas Paine is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional religious beliefs. It encourages critical thinking and rationality, providing a compelling argument for the use of reason in matters of faith.

He challenges traditional religious authority and promotes reason over blind faith. He argues for a deistic God, one knowable through nature, not scripture. Paine criticizes organized religion, especially Christianity, and champions independent thought in matters of belief.
