Well discussing teaching in school PDQ is another issue. My comments were to discuss the importance of Thomas Jefferson and the attempt to paint him and other founding fathers into a different light than history reveals. Your point is another topic. I am only trying to bring out the character of the man and the spirit of the crafting of the Bill of Rights. It is not a religious point although it sounds like it is. This is done as a political move by certain groups. The editing of Jefferson in textbooks for example.. It is a political point used by certain groups to sway votes by the distortion of history ... that's all ...And no matter what group of people or what politics they agree with I am sure you agree that history cannot be rewritten for a cause, any cause. I ask that people study Jefferson and the founding fathers and see what they said about everything..

Now I stand corrected, some presidents used the Jefferson Bible, others did not ... Thanks Dean for pointing that out to me
