It's interesting to note that Thomas Jefferson was unique among the founding fathers in his religious beliefs. He was a deist, but unlike many of the other deists, he attended multiple different churches and declared himself to be "of a sect by myself". It's a fascinating example of how one can be deeply religious while still having a unique perspective.

Honestly I really don't see religion and unique perspective in the same sentence. But agree to disagree I guess... Or whatever they say....

Edit - Religion in a nutshell. Something we can't prove now did something and now we need to worship said thing.
