"I have always said, I always will say, that the studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands."
Thomas Jefferson
That above quote is from Jefferson's "A Real Christian" letter from Jefferson to Charles Thomson from 1/9/1816.
You do realize that the "precious morsel of ethics" referenced was Jefferson's "Philopsophy of Jesus" -- a book he made by cutting out all sections of the Bible except those considered Jesus' own words? Done because he didn't believe in Jesus as the son of God but as the finest moralist in history? For reasons such as this, Jefferson was villified by others for considering himself a Christian.
I can't do anymore homework for you. I have things to do.
