"Yes, but I posted the article to counter the common charge that Jefferson was an atheist, agnostic, or deist, hostile to or skeptical of religion entirely. "
Haven't seen anything about him being an atheist. I have seen the claim that he was hostile towards conventional Christianity.
He didn't like the miracles. And that is well documented.
The latter statement is accurate. The part about him being hostile to conventional Christianity isn't. He often went to church by himself, took part in the services as a normal congregant, and this after he'd left public life.
"Personally I think atheistic naturalism shouldn't be taught as science either."
What do mean "atheistic naturalism"? If you mean evolution, well, it is something that is provable and has actual proof behind it.
I mean the things taught by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Bill Provine, PZ Myers, etc etc etc. and my college biology teacher years ago.
evolution, well, it is something that is provable and has actual proof behind it.
Afraid you're wrong about that. Its based on a narrative involving things that are said to be possible. Which isn't to say much of it isn't factual. Just that its provability is grossly misstated.
