To: Enemy Of The State
You know what? I'm tired of this stupid discussion. Look, here are the facts:
1) Jefferson and presumably no other FF was an atheist
2) Jefferson and many of the other FF provide many quotes that show that their beliefs seem to sway between deism and traditional Christianity.
3) Jefferson and almost all the FF have a background of traditional English Protestant Christianity. A very few were Catholics.
4) None of the FF were of a background of another religion, such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or Judaism (there have been one FF that had a connection to Judaism maybe?)

Alexander Hamilton was raised Jewish (his mother's first and only legal husband was named Levine), but he had no Jewish blood and in his adulthood became a Christian.

"You know what? I'm tired of this stupid discussion. Look, here are the facts:"
Those are not facts..those are your hard set beliefs and you are entitled to them. Facts are solid evidence of which you have provided none to support your statements. I on the other hand can provide enough evidence to place serious doubt as to whether or not TJ was a "Christian".
This was not posted to inflame people who are not capable of intellectually debating and comparing ideas without letting their emotions block reasonable discussion.
