Jefferson was a true Diest in the 19th Century view, that God just turned on the machine, but stays out of things, and a denier of the miracles of Jesus. One of maybe 3, maybe 4, of the original 136 or so signers (the best representatives of the States!) of the three documents that formed the US.
The rest, down the line, were baptized Christians, who practiced, and used the Bible as the couch for their arguments. It's not even a question, the first US public schools, until the 20th Century, used the Christian Bible as their reading primer. Not, as some would say, because there was nothing else available. We had plenty of presses. Because the States wanted their children to have a moral upbringing in the Christian thinking.
It is absolute Talmudist late-20th Century revisionist, and Satanist, in the truest sense, of arguments that says
:The US was not Christian at Founding.
They have to say this about the Institution of Government, that We The People Created, only. Never did the State make me, or The US make me. And then they have to lie about the prayers before sessions, and the Bibles used for oaths which precede even taking an office. Not to mention our choices of Holidays, and our Declarations for Prayer and Fasting and Thanksgiving, routinely issued by Congresses for nearly 200 years, until the Talmudists got your TV sets.
