No. That's not what I said or believe. I said...Remember Saint dink says the Jefferson and Aquinas worship the same providential, moral creator. And thus Jefferson is a Christian. That is absurd.
Jefferson believed that the existence of the God of Nature whose attributes included being a providential, moralistic creator - whose existence and causal relation to the world - is essential to the foundation of natural-rights. Which is why he helped create - along with many of his Christian countrymen - a system which allowed everyone to practice their faith as they saw fit.
