This is nonsense, and it is biased as it gets in favor of christianity.   You can't claim the Deist god had anything to do with this unless ignorant-he created, that's it, he had no plan, no destiny to offer man and no protection to offer as he didn't threaten an eternal hell or even a moment's hell.   Then to bring Paine into it?    To compare Paine, the Father of the Revolution to Puritans, to compare his call for rising against the priests, the kings, to the puritans talking about "virtue".  SLAVERY IS A VIRTUE TO CHRISTIANITY.   Speaking of that, perhaps this huge and insurmountable difference between the deist god -that COULD coexist with AMerican ideas, like "inalienable rights", the basis of our freedoms, yet "inalienable" on a person, is mutually exclusive with "all powerful" on a god, they cannot coexist.... Kind of like liberty and christianity.   What in Deism says EVEYTHING IS OURS, THE REST OF THEM ARE NOT EVEN MEN, BUT SLAVES.  GOD DIDN'T NAME EVE, GOD GAVE HER AS PROPERTY TO ADAM WHO THEN NAMED HER AND ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS.  MANIFEST DESTINY COULD ONLY COME FROM CHRSITIANITY-WIKIPEDIA IS FULL OF LIARS.   BEYOND BIASED AND GETTING GROSSER EVERYDAY, I HOPE IT GOES UNDER, IT SHOULD, AS IT MAY BE FREE, BUT IT'S A FREE LIE, AS IT'S NOT OBJECTIVE, IT'S TAINTED BY CHRISTIAN COWARDS, WHO HATE LIBERTY AND DEEP DOWN THEY KNOW IT.  America says-theres no reason to think those people dont have rights, after all, they are INALIENABLE - that means even YOUR god couldnt take them away.    

 Open your eyes-Christianity is the ANTITHESIS  of liberty-and that is why liberty today is dead and instead the cowards continue seeking inequitable rights, like a selfish child of 50, always demanding 100% of the attention, yet the other 49 too decent to respond in kind by behaving as children and stepping on everyone else as much as possible.   Manifest Destiny had no single source?    Hmmmm   we all know it's from christianity, not ONE of us ever hearing otherwise... it fits no other gods-only the one with all the racism, and hate, and fancy tantrum god that has his chosen people-and hates the others, that he didnt personally create and love, like those of eden in the 2nd creation.   Funny, isnt manifest destiny echoing exactly what the bible says?  Everything is yours go take it, screw em, make slaves of em, you have dominion over all things.    If you can't figure out which religion is really just a policy of positioning a superior position on others in any situation-just look for the religion that has so little respect for its own god, that it painted his skin to match theirs..... lol ya, no it couldnt be that religion that caused a problem?   surely not most problems we have today, not the one that offers a "GOD's" word to back up everything UNamerican-slavery, women and children as property, pink skin called white, and the ultimate importance of two things it seems:   genital mutilation (lol their first big council, and a few others after were devoted to how to slice the penis or not-important spiritual stuff, and skin color.   Frauds, now manifest destiny isnt christian?   I know its not a sin, but to say that type of thing reveals you lie a lot to say something so ridiculous.   Whats next, are you going to claim the crusades was when you christians got so persecuted, and thats how you got such a big religion, well that and its the easiest in history-no practice... "Believe in jesus?  SAVED!!!!"  wow, i wonder how much spiritual growth you get from a death religion with a one, quick, drivethrough step practice....   At least the MUSLIMS are humble before something, and more-5 times a day.  Find me that in a christian, they can't be honest such to not look like complete idiots, as  though the straight face will spare the humiliation?  Course, it's not their fault-one would have to constantly lie to believe in the  bible, its all about avoiding reality-that's why it never addresses it, and instead teaches to escape it-but yes, only after murdering all the savages, stealing their property (women) and destroying their culture....
