Was Thomas Jefferson an enemy of God?

Only to the chronically stupid and illiterate.

Jefferson was only the enemy of those would would use religious coercion to force someone to believe in something.

Jefferson a believer?..probably not beyond a mild sense of deism. He didn't begrudge anyone their beliefs provided it wasn't coercive. What was Jefferson's true religion?..Freedom. He was its greatest acolyte.
