“If his complete quotation were on the monument it would bring out the fact that Jefferson was speaking against the dergy of his day (Ibid., p. 119).”

Jefferson also thought the Bible just didn't measure up so he “edited” it into The Jefferson Bible, keeping only what he approved of, getting rid of miracle and such.

Jefferson harbored much more than just an antipathy toward the clergy.
