So, on top of being an unregenerate white racist slaveholder, he was also a religious radical (proto atheist) to boot.
No wonder self righteous and smug people of color, and tight corseted white religious evangelical Tea Partiers, want to tear down his statues everywhere.
Oh, he was also a lawyer....fuel on the fire.
Oh, and he took up with one of his slaves...fuel on an already out of control fire.
The Founding Fathers mostly wanted no established religion, weak central government, and weak state governments. They got their wish, a piece of political and spiritual mierda.
