When Thomas Jefferson was president did he betray his ideals. Or did he stay true to his ideals. Please leave me all of your thoughts. I would appreciate it very much

QUOTE He felt to side with any one religious group or another would betray his ideals of religious freedom. ... He refused the endorsements of religious groups, upholding his belief in the separation of church and state. So is this saying he didnt have any religion? Did he believe in god? |
