Synopsis
Paine's years of study and reflection on the role of religion in society culminated with this, his final work. An attack on revealed religion from the deist point of view — embodied by Paine's credo, "I believe in one God, and no more" — its critical and objective examination of Old and New Testaments cites numerous contradictions.
Annotation
Piercing analysis of religion that continues to influence religious thinking to this day.

October 27, 2006: Egocentricity is the main reason people choose a religion for. The love of saying I am the one who is right, in case of religion, always right. Age of Reason is a book that tells the reader to simply use his/her brain and make use of the bliss of logic. How come we always accept ideas without examining them? Were we taught at schools to accept things just like that? Then why do we do so with religion? Why do we refuse aliens or some supernatural phenomena but then accept religion? Why do we dare to defy our parents in almost anything but when it comes to religion we just, at least the majority of us, obey?! Religion is truly the opium of the masses. Read Thomas Pain, the man has something to say in this book...

November 30, 2003: I haven't read the whole book yet but it has brought up very good arguments so far. I also have researched Thomas Paine and the reason i wanted to read this is because he spent the remainder of his life (falloween the publishing) in poverty becuase of the arguments in this book. No one would excepted them so he was outcast. This book is definetly revolutional.
