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.

Jefferson was a deist and never claimed to be a christian during his adult life.
BTW: John Adams was the 2nd president....Jefferson was 3rd.

Thomas Jefferson was the only person that ever had an assigned seat every Sunday during the prayer meeting they used to have in the capital because he was always there. Thomas Jefferson would come riding up on his horse every Sunday no matter the weather. Thomas Jefferson was a true christian, he believed in the teachings of Christ but not the christian religion created by Paul. Stop believing lies, the truth is fascinating I see someone thinks George Washington wasn't religious also, Martha Washington wrote a letter to the anti-federalist scorning them for calling her husband an atheist

T.J. did not believe in the divinity of Jesus, and disliked religion.
"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."

Christianity is the biggest seduction scheme in human history. In fact, some experts even named Bible as the best textbook of seduction.
The only true christian religion is stated in Matthew Gospel:
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Jefferson's word has been modified as
Since every prophesy has occured, yet we have not advanced one inch towards heaven. The New Heaven is still too far from us.

Jefferson was a secular if not atheist I think he knew that Christianity is only to keep white supremacy
