Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was a Theist and a Unitarian (a theist who rejects the Trinity). His unorthodox religious belief advocated freedom and separation of church from state. Such distinction was necessary for American society with a broad diversity.

Although Jefferson was raised Anglican, he departed from traditional Christian doctrines, rejected Jesus’ divinity and The Holy Trinity. He further rejected Original Sin, Biblical miracles, the Resurrection and the Atonement.

Jefferson's major belief included truth, temperance, honesty, gratitude and love for man in this world only.

He believed Jesus to be an early sage:

"the purity & sublimity of his moral precepts, the eloquence of his inculcation, the beauty of the Apologues in which he conveys them"
