I didnt said they should. As for Thomas Jefferson, he believed in God, did he not? He also admired teachings of Jesus Christ a LOT and he was very bound to them. Doesnt chnage the fact that religion/God was in american politics from the beginning, so people shouldn't get so butthurt over this guy's statement. America IS a CHRISTIAN country, and just because you are not christian, doesnt mean you should get offended because someone said he/she is, especially if you live in christian country like America.

People aren't offended by him saying he's Christian. Of course not, almost all of your politicians do that.
It's him explicitly saying he wants people in his state to convert that is offending people.
No, he never tried to convert people to his fate, he said he wishes to be your brother, and that means he wishes you WERE Christian not that you ARE christian. Thats not even an attempt to convertion and if that offends you, than you have some really easy and spoiled life. What do you do if someone insults directly you or your family. Kill yourself?
Also America is not a Christian country, it really isn't. It's a secular country with a Christian majority - their is a very important and very explicit different between the two. Interstingly despite being largely secular in nature England actually is a Christian nation - it has a defined state religion in the Church of England.
try spinning stuff to please you, it doesnt change anything. Most of people in america are christians, and if you get offended by someone is trying to speak for the country's major religion than you should definitly GTFO of there (im not talking about you).
Edit: Also admiring the teachings of Jesus doesn't make you a Christian, most Muslims respect his teachings - they even consider him a prophet.
All american founding politicains believed in abrahamic God.The belief in God can clearly be seen in Constitiution and Declaration of Independece, THE END. Dont know why this fact troubles you so much.
