Nah. You're forgetting Increase Mather and those crazy Puritans. Everyone is familiar with the Jewish/Puritan affinity, but unfortunately many people make the mistake of equating Puritanism with contemporary New England liberalism (the old "Ted Kennedy is merely the ultimate descendant of Jonathan Edwards" thing). The contemporary counterparts of the old New England Puritans are not New England liberals but Southern "Bible-thumpers." Why can't more people see this?
Nineteenth century Jewish liberals liked to say that "Hebraic mortar cemented the bricks of American democracy," but that isn't correct. Actually Hebraic mortar cemented the bricks of New England Puritan theocracy (back when New England was horrified of the Jacobinism of the Southern planters and convinced that Thomas Jefferson was going to confiscate and burn all the Bibles).
Jefferson wouldn't have burned Bibles, just done a cut and paste job. Imagine what he could have done with internet access in his post Presidential years at Monticello.
