AR be with you... and also with me.
I remember when I heard one of the kids ask his friend "Are you Christian or Catholic?" He must have got that from Grandma and Grandpa...
I like this one! But I won't press my issues with Catholicism...I remember when I heard one of the kids ask his friend "Are you Christian or Catholic?" He must have got that from Grandma and Grandpa...

Atheist and fully supportive of anyones right to think I'm wrong.
Jefferson is not the best example of a christian to use. Wasn't he married when he got several of his slaves pregnant?
If memory serves me correctly...
Was not Jefferson and several of our Founders in fact not Christian, but in fact Deists?!

That`s a popular myth.
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. -Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
What is it men cannot be made to believe! -Thomas Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee, April 22, 1786.
Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshipped by many who think themselves Christians. -Thomas Jefferson, letter to Richard Price, Jan. 8, 1789
Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814
The list goes on an on. Think what you may but the facts are out there - Thomas Jefferson was not a Christian.

I really don't see how this proves or disproves Jefferson as a Christian. It could be taken out of context to go either way.
he also said this... "among the inestimable of our blessings, also, is that ...of liberty to worship our Creator in the way we think most agreeable to His will; ..."Thomas Jefferson said (1807)
and again this could be taken as him saying others can worship whichever god they choose. Quotes out of context have a dozen of different meanings.
Nothing you posted supports your statement.
Atheists WANT him to not be Christian. They WANT this nation to have not been founded on Christian morals.
But wanting it doesn't make it fact.
