Wanting more people to become Christians is not bigotry. Just as Jews praying for Gentiles to convert to Judaism is not bigotry. Adam’s was not advocating forced conversions.

The Jerusalem Post is an Israeli publication. They obviously take issue with the notion of needing to be proselytized to, even if not by force.

John Adams also alluded to some condescending stereotypes in his statement that have haunted Jewish existence in the West for centuries. What I don’t understand however, is this notion of becoming a “Unitarian” Christian. Did he believe even Jewish converts would reject the Trinity? Was Adams not a Trinitarian himself? Maybe he leaned toward some Deistic tenets, at least at this juncture in his life…

I think the term “Unitarian” in this context means general or no specific sect of Christianity.

At least that is how I read it.

Adams was a Unitarian, but in those days it was Christian, unlike the flakes today.
