As I know from reading a biography of John Adams by David McCullough, both Benjamin Franklin and John Adams worked with Jefferson to create the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote majority of the document all on his own, but both Franklin and Adams helped to direct the document to apply to all types of religions and people. Jefferson originally had the claim, "we hold these truths to be true before God." Franklin, feeling that the line was a little too direct, changed the sentence to "we hold these truths to be self-evident."
