Yeah, I can't find any reference to Christ. All I see is a deist document.

The DoI makes no specific reference to Christ. It makes reference to the Creator God of Genesis. The Christian Framers would instantly know that the Creator is the Father, Who has a Son, and a Holy Spirit, too. TJ didn't have to explain to the people what they already knew.

Was Jefferson a deist? He has been called "The American Sphinx." Meaning (among other things) it's difficult to pin him down, theologically speaking.

But you seem pretty sure about his "credentials." It must be nice to have such certainly so cheaply....

Make that “certainty,” not “certainly”.... [last line]

Nope. John Adams' letter of 1797 clearly says "As the Government of the United States of American is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

Do you have some difficulty with this that I might perchance be able to help you with?

And DoI is a deist document that does not mention Christ, even God, let alone Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. U.S. Constitution doesn't mention Christ, Father, Son, or the Holy Ghost, and iirc not even the Creator.

Did I mention Jefferson? You are all over the place! But since you mentioned him, wasn't it Jefferson who re-made the Bible by removing the supernatural aspects of it? Does it matter if he was a deist? He sure wasn't a Christian, was he? But based on some of his other writings, I wonder if he was even a deist.

Ta talk of immaterial is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god [sic], are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god [sic], no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise...
