Religion
The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion. It has been the most destructive to the peace of man since man began to exist.
Thomas Paine
--The Age of Reason
Thoman Paine's work was the basis for the constitution of America. His work is instrumental in our quest towards understanding the social contract that exists between humans in society. Further, it helps refine the contract and enable us to relate to each other in a civilized manner.
