There are many books on the religious beliefs of the founding fathers.McCallough's book isn't the end all on the subject.What was McCallough's agenda? There are hundreds of Jefferson quotes which clearly show that Jefferson was a Christ believer.Jefferson wasn't an agnostic.What evidence is there that Jefferson thought poorly of the common people.?I don't buy it.That would make Jefferson like the elitist,liberal,communist forces of today. The same bunch that believes faith is delegated to the stupid.Quite the contrary there has been a relentless assault by the same bunch to discredit religion and to distort history.

Jefferson proposed a the seal for the United States which would reflect the spirit of this new nation.It follows;

The children of Israel in the wilderness led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
