Don't ever let anyone tell you that jefferson was a deist, or atheist. He was a Christian Unitarian who prayed to God for divine intervention in daily life.

It should also be understood that Baptists led the charge for religious freedom and the Bill of Rights.

Jefferson denied the divinity of Christ and said that the notion of his virgin birth would some day be classified with the notion of Minerva coming from the brain of Zeus. Yeah, but other than THAT, he was a Christian.

Deism was considered by many founding fathers at one time or another. But even the most "enlightened" (I mean this in the European Enlightenment sense), such as Ben Franklin eventually rejected it. The tragedy is that most of us have been taught history by reading historians, not by reading those that the historians are writing about.
