NATURE teaches us right and wrong (virtue) from the time we are very young. What is his opinion of organized religion (see lines below)?
Compare Freneau's belief to Paine's.
" And from this source (Nature) would nations know
All that can make their heaven below.
This deals not curses on mankind,
Or dooms them to perpetual grief,
If from its aid-no joys they find,
It damns them not for unbelief;"
