Pure Hog Wash !!!!
Consider the possibility that you are idolizing Thomas Jefferson.
He was an notorious ideologue who only ended up being a decent POTUS because he wisely allowed compelling national and global events to influence his approach to governing at that level.
We are told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Jefferson had a capacious mind and was brilliant but had a horrible deficit in terms of piety. We are still suffering from that throwaway line he included in a letter to a pen pal about there being a “wall” between Church and state.
Jefferson was a hugely bigoted anti-Catholic who, in the late 1780s and early 1790s failed to allow distinct signs of budding brutal persecution and murder of Catholic priests and laity, for example in the Vendee (albeit the worst of that came in the mid 1790s), to influence his overall “take” on the supposed high-minded and lofty goals of the partisan instigators and perpetuators of the so-called “French Revolution”, which, at its heart, was an early but massive round of a century-plus war waged by the Masonic cult against all things monarchical. (The monarchical papacy of the Catholic Church being the top prize in that war, nearly in their grasp.)
If you are of a mind, this video goes into depth on how our founding fathers, brilliant men all, nevertheless, in the final analysis, deluded themselves.

There is a good section early in the video that takes Tom J. to task in the same vein as I have, but to greater depth and with on-point quotes from the $2 bill Prexy himself.
