Thomas Jefferson who wrote in the Declaration of Independence said this.
He was well read and knew the Enlightenment writers of the day. As an thinker and writer he was the perfect choice. One of the fallacies of the Declaration is that there is a belief today that he wrote it to set up the foundation of a Christian nation. Not true . The Declaration refers only to "nature's God" and he did not insist that the religion was the pillar of liberty. He was also from VA which was important.
