Let's notice what Jefferson wrote about God and morals:

The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time;

In 1823, he wrote to John Adams referring to “the God whom you and I acknowledge and adore” while denouncing atheism.

“[T]he Christian religion when divested of the rags in which they [the clergy] have enveloped it, and brought to the original purity & simplicity of its benevolent institutor, is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, & the freest expression of the human mind,” he explained.12 It was a “benign religion … inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude and love of man, acknowledging and adoring an overruling providence.”13 Based on these understandings, Jefferson demonstrated a deep, even devout, admiration of Jesus, “the purity & sublimity of his moral precepts, the eloquence of his inculcations, the beauty of the apologues in which he conveys them...”14 At times, Jefferson described these moral and ethical teachings of Jesus as “primitive christianity” before its perversion by church leaders seeking temporal power.15

On Jesus ...Notwithstanding these disadvantages, a system of morals is presented to us, which, if filled up in the true style and spirit of the rich fragments he left us, would be the most perfect and sublime that has ever been taught by man.

Imagine how different our country would be if our most liberal politician would espouse these sentiments and if the rest of them were even more conservative in their thinking ...
