Pretty interesting look at Jefferson's religious beliefs. I know there is an interest here, so I thought I'd throw some "fuel" on the fire! ;-)

"Jefferson Bible reveals Founding Father's view of God, faith
He compiled the four Gospels into one text without miracles, ending with Jesus' burial rather than the resurrection.

By Louis Sahagun, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
July 5, 2008

Making good on a promise to a friend to summarize his views on Christianity, Thomas Jefferson set to work with scissors, snipping out every miracle and inconsistency he could find in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Then, relying on a cut-and-paste technique, he reassembled the excerpts into what he believed was a more coherent narrative and pasted them onto blank paper -- alongside translations in French, Greek and Latin."
