Thomas Paine
-
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
-
My country is the world, and my religion is to do good.
-
Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion, when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities.
-
Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.
-
Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles he can only discover them.
