Thomas Paine would be considered a Whig, as he was a strong advocate for American independence and republicanism, opposing British monarchy and aristocracy. His writings, particularly "Common Sense," championed the cause of liberty and self-governance, aligning with Whig principles that emphasized individual rights and resistance to tyranny. In contrast, Tories supported British authority and the established monarchy, which Paine vehemently opposed.
Paine's anecdote about the Tory serves to illustrate the dangers of complacency and the consequences of inaction in the face of tyranny. It highlights the moral failure of those who prioritize personal comfort over the collective struggle for freedom. By showcasing the Tory's cowardice and self-serving attitude, Paine aims to galvanize his readers to take a stand against oppression and advocate for independence. This anecdote reinforces the urgency of the revolutionary cause and the need for active participation in the fight for liberty.
Although not a Christian, Thomas Paine described himself as a Deist; he believed in a God so he was not an atheist. Paine was, however, extremely critical of the Bible and rejected the notion that one could arrive at truth through revealed scripture. He is sometimes thought of as an atheist by Christians who are unhappy with his views that their religion was "the study of nothing."
