by Taraya Thomas Paine, author of 'Common Sense' Two hundred thirty-six years ago today, at the dawning of a revolution, a pamphlet was published with an unassuming name: Common Sense. This publication’s passionate approach to American independence and straightforward appeals to the people clarified for many the goals of the revolution, paved the way for the Declaration of Independence, and made Common Sense one the most influential pamphlets in American history.
Thomas Paine's famous pamphlet changed the mindset of many Americans The pamphlet was published anonymously due to its treasonous messages, signed only “Written by an Englishman. ” It was the first Americanproduced work to directly appeal for freedom from “the royal brute of Britain”. Its success was enormous in comparison to the population of the colonies at the time, selling 500, 000 copies in the first year alone. Common Sense argued against a monarchy, shot down John Locke’s reasoning for a constitutional monarchy, and called for a union of the colonies. Paine even proposed his own ideas for the proper way to run a government with the least amount of potential for one person to have complete control over the laws of the land.
Paine’s pamphlet massively influenced the opinions of the Americans, most of whom still regarded themselves as Britons, albeit troubled and estranged. Paine’s fervent opinion that they had escaped the clutches of a tyrannical “monster” that was still chasing them changed their thinking, causing many who were still undecided about American independence to discover where their loyalties lay and join the cause for freedom. Common Sense was a major addition to the sweeping propaganda that led the American people into a life-changing revolution.

In the preface to the remarkable book “The Age of Reason”, which he wrote in a Luxembourg prison under penalty of death during the French Revolution, Paine put in Promethian manner the argument against organized religion on the printed page for all to see.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on nothing; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing and admits of no conclusion.
Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good. -- Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system. The Age of Reason,
Many philosophers at the time were agnostic or atheist but kept quiet about it. Paine was in fact a deist but thought that the supposedly “revealed” texts of Judaism, Christianity and Islam were an insult to the God of Nature and he placed freethinking on a shelf within reach of the average person Christopher Hitchens THES June 16 2006

With these words … he cut through the traditional arguments in favour of censorship. It was not just the right of a person to speak that was at stake but the right of others to hear and have their own opinions challenged. At a stroke he rendered negligible the sinister insinuation that a little censorship can be good for you whether it comes in the guise of sensitivity or security.
