The Age of Reason, at least in this country, was little more than a blip in our history that lasted only long enough to get us jump-started. It was then bullied into the shadows as effectively as Paine was hounded on his deathbed to recant his deism, followed by his grave being vandalized and his memory desecrated. We were well on the way at that point to Calhoun's near theocratic coup which was narrowly averted under Jackson. Some segments of the Church get upset by a movie like this (or it's possible sequels) because they can't suppress it as effectively as they had been able to the Age of Reason, or to sweep their malfeasance under the rug of revisionist history.
