“Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. “

-Thomas Jefferson

This is perhaps the most important statement on religion ever made. It clarified the intent of the founders of the constitution irrespective of the attempts of modern day religious revisionists...

“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between church and State.”

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT., Jan. 1, 1802

another keeper.....

“To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart. At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But heresy it certainly is.”

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams

another great one...

“And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter.”

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

How did Jefferson feel about the people of his day who were the equivalent of our modern day “penecostals”? You know, those revelation reveling tongue speaking idiots...

It is between fifty and sixty years since I read the Apocalypse, and I then considered it merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy, nor capable of explanation than the incoherence’s of our own nightly dreams.... what has no meaning admits no explanation.
— Thomas Jefferson, to Alexander Smyth, January 17, 1825

I know this won't be popular and its a lost cause anyways but when conservatives praise Jefferson I get the same feeling I did when Newt praised FDR.

He was a liberal ya know. He did create the faction which became the Democratic party. He was despised by the founders and framers from my state (among whom was the only man, Roger Sherman, who signed all 4 founding documents). No, he wasn't as bad as Thomas Paine, but he ...well...listen to what Fisher Ames wrote in reference to Jefferson and his faction in 1805. Doesn't the below sound just like the Democratic party of today?

Federalism was therefore manifestly founded upon a mistake, on the supposed existence of sufficient political virtue, and on the permanency and authority of the public morals. The party now in power committed no such mistake. They acted upon what men actually are, not what they ought to be . . .They inflamed the ignorant; they flattered the vain; they offered novelty to the restless; and promised plunder to the base. The envious were assured that the great should fall; and the ambitious that they should become great . . . we are descending from a supposed orderly and stable republican government into a licentious democracy . . .
Ames also wrote that Jefferson's coalition was composed of a corrupt aristrocracy and an ignornant underclass propped up by a venal press.

The Obama coalition in other words.

They ya go. When Reagan addressed Baptists he wasn’t laughing at them behind their backs. He respected them. Jefferson didn’t. He stroked the Danbury Baptists for votes and because he wanted to undermine the Congregational clergy in Connecticut.
