Line 44: − ==Religious Viewpoints== − Thomas Edison was heavily influenced by Thomas Paine's Age of Reason, and can be considered an adherent of Deism. − Remarks made by Edison in advocacy of Deism; − "Nature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving. If God made me -- the fabled God of the three qualities of which I spoke: mercy, kindness, love -- He also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us -- nature did it all -- not the gods of the religions"
→Religious Viewpoints: religious section not well supported and might be misleading - delete for now
