Where did you get this article? For the fact it says "Book of jihad" instead of Koran I'm gona assume it came from some anti-Muslim site. Don't be a racial bigot like Bong.
I am anti-religion - ALL of them, and being against religion has nothing to do with being a "racial bigot" (which BONG is not).

Jefferson, BTW, was a DEIST - which meant that he believed in a supreme being, or deity, but not in any theology. He had a particular animosity toward the clergy and organized religions.



History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.

-Thomas Jefferson to Alexander von Humboldt, Dec. 6, 1813.


In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Horatio G. Spafford, March 17, 1814
