[KDD]

For that neighbor to deceive others by pretending to be a Christian religion when they are not, harm is done.

Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

KDD,

I do not excuse burning, torturing, fining, imprisoning or any other.

The Deist Jefferson is wrong though as to the goal of Christianity. It is not uniformity.

But then he destroyed the Bible cutting passages out, so he probably shouldn’t be expected to have read it or believed it.
