Like everything else about Thomas Jefferson, his religious beliefs are complex. Jefferson would be considered today to be an agnostic today. Where the Declaration of Independence speaks of the "laws of Nature and Nature's God", it's more of a reflection on the fact that Jefferson was a product of the enlightenment who believed in a "natural order" of things rather than any Christian beliefs on his part. At the same time Jefferson considered Jesus to be an ethical role model but not a religious figure. He wrote that the New Testament should be limited solely to the words and parables of Jesus and actually went so far as to develop his own translation of the New Testament. The closest thing Jefferson had to a "religion" was his belief that men had a right to worship 9or not worship) in any way they saw fit; this belief was memorialized in his "Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom" which, along with authorship of the Declaration of Independence and founding of the University of Virginia, were the only accomplishments he had inscribed on his epitaph.
