Paine was a devout Deist, and slammed Christianity on many occasions. He authored a vulgar and blasphemous pamphlet "The Age of Reason" in which he goes on to describe Christianity a mere fraud and cult. This led to his public disownment, despite being one of the key founders of the United States of America.

Paine was a devout [[Deist]], and was skeptical about miracles in [[Christianity]]. Thirty years after his successful ''Common Sense'' he published ''The Age of Reason'' (1807), in which he asserts that Christianity a mere fraud and cult. This causes a brief revival of [[Deism]] in the [[United States]], but without lasting effect.  He ultimately fell into disfavor due to his intemperate attacks on religion.
