Thomas Paine 在 1776 年美国独立革命中是一位充满活力的哲学代表人物，他于 1795 年写下了生前最后一本书，对建制化宗教（重点是基督教）进行了考察和评论。Paine 表示他的“宗教义务”包括主持正义、热爱仁慈以及努力使他人幸福。他自称是一个 deist，即基于理性与自然的证据而非超自然启示来相信上帝存在的人。在本书中，他将 deism 概述为一种理性的宗教信仰，并基于文本对 Bible 进行了分析。

目前为止是：托马斯·潘恩的《哈利·波特与魔法石》和《理性时代》（The Age of Reason）。第一本点燃了我对阅读的热爱，第二本则彻底改变了我看待人生世界的方式。

托马斯·潘恩的《理性时代》（The Age of Reason）这本书真的让我彻底相信：根本不存在所谓有位格的上帝（personal God）。我是作为一个基督徒被抚养长大的，所以要打破这种基督教思维模式对我来说很不容易，花了好长一段时间……
The book "The Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine really convinced me that something like a personal God doesn't exist. I've been raised a Christian, so changing the Christian mindset was not easy for me, it took a course of several…
……罗伯特·G·英格索尔（Robert G. Ingersoll）的演讲。那个崇尚演说风气的年代留下的雄辩杰作。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_G._Ingersoll http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/2662 托马斯·潘恩的《理性时代》。虽然初衷并非用于演说，但跟英格索尔的演讲稿一样，大声朗读出来极具快感。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine http://thomaspaine.org/major-works/the-age-of-reason-part-1.... > 但有些人……

……托马斯·杰斐逊和本杰明·富兰克林，这些人显然全都是不可知论者（在当时他们被称为“自然神论者”（Deist），放到今天基本就等同于“不可知论者”）。托马斯·潘恩那本惊世骇俗的《理性时代》在当时简直颠覆三观，极其激进，遭到大范围查禁，在文化界掀起了轩然大波。哪怕放在今天看也依然引人入胜！尤其是当你考虑到……
…Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, all of whom were clearly agnostic (at the time, they were "Deist" which was essentially equivalent to "agnostic" nowadays). Thomas Paine's phenomenal book "The Age of Reason" was utterly mind-blowing and extremely radical at the time, receiving widespread banning and igniting firestorms in the culture. It's still a great read today! Especially fascinating when you consider…
