LA Times Jefferson Bible Story Resurfaces On Digg

Last July the LA Times published a primer on Thomas Jefferson's religious beliefs, focused on his own version of the New Testament, known as the Jefferson Bible. I love how these old stories often wind up on Digg months and years after they're written.

The founders' religious beliefs have become a huge matter for debate between religious conservatives and secular progressives. In some ways this battle over the favor of these dead men is one way to keep the struggle between theocratic and secular forces going, no matter what the history actually says.
