Simple, to a regurgitating collectivist parrot perhaps.
Jefferson rejected temporal human religious concoctions and preferred, instead, a personal relationship constituted through a lifetime of interaction with his Creator, and the experience and self-evident Truth manifested therein.
And thank GOD he and his fellows were inspired by that Creator to found this American Republic where other INDIVIDUALS are FREE ( much to your evident chagrine ) to do so as well.

Jefferson rejected the reality of miracles and the supernatural in the life of Christ. Essentially he denied who Christ really is. Jefferson was brilliant in the secular sense, but a shortsighted twit in terms of the Christian Faith. Those are just the facts.
