What is one reason that thomas paine thinks the colonies stand a good chance against the british

Here is a quote however from Wikipedia The Website:

Why america should be independent:

"He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity."

...So basically, he appealed to the masses by both is casual writing style as well as playing to ideas that protestants (whose main differentation from the Roman Catholic or Anglican(British) churches was that God is accessible to the masses instead of just through authority (like church or crown)...This means if the average person has direct access to god, it makes religion more of a democracy (hense all the denomonations of protestantism).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
