Abel · Answer 2

d. demonstrate his rejection of the divinity of Jesus.

Explanation:

The religious views of Thomas Jefferson indicate that he rejected the idea of the divinity of Jesus. This view is an uncommon one during this time period. Jefferson generally enjoyed the idea of deism, and he supported the ideals of Christianity as well. He also appears to have valued the teachings of Jesus. However, his support for the church also had important limits. He does not seem to have fully believed in the divinity of Jesus. He also did not believe that the state should provide financial support to churches.
