For a Deist who never subscribed to basic Christian beliefs (or those of any other religion), Jefferson's interest in religious liberties is interesting. Jefferson regarded anything referencing the supernatural as superstition and nothing more. Benjamin Franklin and many of the other Founding Fathers held similar beliefs.

AUTHOR OF THE
DECLARATION
OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
OF THE
STATUTE OF VIRGINIA
FOR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
AND FATHER OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
