Everything you've written simply affirms that Jefferson was focused in a Judeo-Christian direction.

He was a judeo-christian deist. He wasn't a neutral deist.

His thought patterns, issues, writings -- you name it -- focused in a judeo-christian direction.

Additionally, he had a staunch judeo-christian ethic.

"Endowed by their Creator" assumes a creator. That concept of a "Creator" is NOT part of every world religion. It IS, however, a part of the judeo-christian worldview.

True. Jefferson had great respect for Jesus, and in at least three letters he stated, "I am a Christian".
