Wow. Throw out anything that you were taught in school! I have been reading some of the letters and writings of this guy and he was quite anti-religious...and very anti-Xtian. Here are a couple of examples.
"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His father, in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823
"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites." Notes on Virginia
"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies."
