This was written in a letter to John Adams, by Thomas Jefferson.

That's Richard Dawkins quoting Thomas Jefferson's letter to John Adams.

That is NOT Thomas Jefferson;;;;but a fake from Dawson.
Here's Thomas Jefferson and others...
" The Bible is the cornerstone of libery". -- Thoms Jefferson"
"God who gave us life and liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are a gift from God?" - Thomas Jefferson
"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God and to obey His will". -- George Washington
" We stake the whole future history of this nation upon the ablility of its people to govern & control themselves according to the 10 Commandments". -- James Madison ...Chief Archetect of the US Constistution and 2nd Pres. of US.
So why should we believe clueless atheists that are trying to convince us otherwise? I choose to believe our Founding Fathers and reject the atheists who are trying to re-write history to suit their own selfish agenda
