ON UNITARIANISM AND JEFFERSON
Since Jefferson wrote "I confidently expect that the present generation will see Unitarianism become the general religion of the United States," it seems fairly safe to conclude he thought of himself as a Unitarian, even if his prognostications were a little off. >was Jefferson a deist a unitarian or secular rationalist? please list >documentation if you would. Thank you If necessary to categorize Jefferson's religious belief, Unitarian would seem to be the correct category. He wrote: "I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die an Unitarian." --Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Waterhouse, 1822. ME 15:385
