It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind." -- Thomas Paine: The Age of Reason, 1794 "Examination of the Old Testament" "Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated." --George Washington </p>
