Jefferson was a brilliant man. But sadly, he had a huge ego and was educated beyond his level of intelligence.
"Jefferson was a brilliant man" stands by itself.
You need to remember the context of the times
he was living in when me made those writings.
By law you had to be a member of the Anglican
Church with the King as the Protector of the Faith.
That might cause some to become missing at the
pew come Sunday morning.
Jefferson was proud that he authored "The Virginia
Statutes of Religious Freedom" so that his fellow
citizens could worship where they pleased.
Just like Clinton.
