Thanks for that. How does it refute what I wrote?
From your reference:
In John Fea's book "Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?" Jefferson is quoted as saying in 1816 that “I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.” He married his wife in the Anglican Church and even his children were baptized as Anglicans.
Therefore, it's safe to say that while he may not have been a spiritual Christian, he was most definitely a cultural Christian.
FWIW, Tolstoy came to the same understanding that the genius of the Bible is in the Doctrine of Christ.
