On the sole basis of Thomas Jefferson though....
I just don't see how it could be because of his Deism.
Heck, I'd be more likely to buy it was because he probably was part black.
In reality, depending on how you define black and the possibilties... Obama could be as low as the 8th president who's part black.
Either way it's stupid. What people don't get is most of the founding fathrs were diests. It's just, they all including jefferson were basically Christian Deists.
They thought a god existed... and it most likely was the Christian one, it's just they didn't trust the written down organzied religious books that often seemed to have stuff added in to explain things that were latter proven with science.
Hence why there is a Christian tone in the countries founding, yet they want it to be free of religious orginizations grasp.
