Thomas Paine Argues, “No King But God”

ListenJanuary 10, 1776 Paine's Common Sense published A growing number in America have suggested that religion or Christianity should have no place in the political life of the nation.

This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free constitutions of government. "
