Thomas Jefferson believed in God. He considered Jesus the "great reformer of the Jewish religion." He wrote that "Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern, which have come under my observation, none appear to me so pure as that of Jesus." However Jefferson viewed Jesus and human, not divine.

Why did Thomas Jefferson wrote that Paul was the 'first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus'?
The reason is this: Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian; he did not believe in trinity and the divinity of Jesus. Instead, Jefferson saw Jesus as a great teacher and a man of righteousness (look at: The Life of Jesus by Thomas Jefferson). He also believed that Jesus never claim that he is the son of God, nor his first followers. Paul, in the other hand, invented all the idea of trinity, resurrection, salvation etc... In other words, he founded what become known as "Pauline Christianity", which had become the dominant group of Christendom for a long time. Jefferson believed that the doctrines of Pauline Christianity contradict with the doctrines of Jesus himself. Thus, Paul was the "first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus".
