Was Jefferson Madison a Christian?

I'm not sure who "Jefferson Madison" is supposed to be. If you mean "Thomas Jefferson" and "James Madison", then neither one of them was "Christian" in the traditional sense. Jefferson did attend church services as President, and claimed to be a Christian, though he also explicitly rejected the concept of the Trinity and apparently considered Christ Himself a great teacher, but not the literal Son of God. Madison was educated by Presbyterian clergy, but showed very little outward sign of any interest in religion as an adult.
