Thomas Jefferson, as well as many of our rebellious revolutionary founding fathers, felt that religion was a very personal issue and that the creative divine providence couldn't be known. This belief is often called "Deism" and sometimes agnosticism.
Thomas Jefferson edited a version of The Bible that focused specifically on the moral teachings of Jesus and excluded the superfluous and supernatural miracles contained in the writings about Jesus. The result was "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth", also known as The Jefferson Bible.
