Why did Thomas Paine use so many biblical references in his arguments?

In the 18th century, there were not a lot of books that were so well known that you could refer to them and expect your audience to understand your reference. In the 21st century we have a much larger cultural base for making widely understandable references. We could refer to Harry Potter, for example, and expect to be understood. We have The Simpsons TV series. In the 18th century, it was pretty much the bible and Shakespeare. So you use what you have.
