Thomas Jefferson's The Virginia Statue For Religious Freedom

Religion has been a very critical and somewhat scary topic to talk about for as long as people can remember. Even dating back to the times of Jamestown and colonial days, people had at first been scared to go against any ruling the king established and ended up being scared to worship their own faith and practice their own religious views. Around the 1700s, documents became established and prominent religious figures came into the limelight to promote religious acceptance. Although not all leaders and well known figures of the time may have been Christians, they all at least had a certain idea of what faith was and who the almighty God was and His capabilities.
Thomas Jefferson was very adamant on his stance toward religion and prayer during his lifetime. He has been regarded as the best spokesperson we have for American liberty, faith, and equality for all men and women alike. In the Declaration of Independence the opening line says that all people have equal rights to the Laws of Nature and also the freedoms that Nature’s God allows them. There are certain truths that the Declaration of Independence mentions such as Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness that nobody is allowed to take away from us. He wrote The Virginia Statue for Religious Freedom about people’s freedom of conscience and also the principle separation of the church and state. He believed there is a God and He allows us humans
In many of his writings, Jefferson mentioned of God giving us certain abilities and certain rights that cannot be taken away from us in any form or fashion and that we have the ability to choose what we do with these rights. I cannot say for sure if Jefferson was a Christian and a man of faith but I do strongly believe he was a man very well versed in the Christian faith and very aware and humbled by Gods power and
