Yes, Thomas Jefferson was religious, but his beliefs were unconventional. He was a Deist, which meant he believed in a rational, benevolent God who created the universe, but rejected the supernatural aspects of Christianity. He also believed that the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth were important, but he rejected Jesus's divinity, resurrection, and miracles. Here are some of Jefferson's religious beliefs: Deism Jefferson was a Deist, which means he believed that God did not intervene in human affairs. He believed that religious truths were subject to human reason. The Bible Jefferson created his own version of the Bible, which he called The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth and The Life and Morals of Jesus, by removing parts of the Gospels that he considered unsupportable. The Trinity Jefferson was opposed to the Trinity, which he called "Greek arithmetic". He would not stand godfather at Anglican and Episcopal baptisms in Virginia. Church attendance Jefferson was a regular attendant at church services in the House of Representatives. He also prayed publicly in both of his inaugural addresses. Separation of church and state Jefferson believed that the government should not direct religion, and he thought it violated the First Amendment to imply that "good citizens" were religious.
@angelgirldebbiejo Unconventional like what? Mormons? Jehovah Witnesses? Unitarians? See, Jeffersons Unconventional beliefs mirror at least three "Christian" denominations. As he himself said at least twice, he was a Christian.

Interesting, Thomas Jefferson prayed in the name of Jesus. I thought he was a deist or even an atheist as the liberals like to say.
