Your knowledge of Jefferson leaves a lot to be desired.
Ha!
No, Jefferson wasn't a deist. Here's the definition of deism / a deist:
“Deism has come to denote the theological belief that God created the universe according to scientific laws,
but does not interfere in its daily operation.” – The New World Encyclopedia
Deism: “[From Latin Deus, God Deity] The doctrine or creed of a Deist.” “One who believes in the existence of a God or supreme being,
but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason.” – Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary, 1941.
"Revealed religion" would be scripture, God-given prophecy, etc. And the fact that Jefferson did and could interact with men and nations (as revealed in the Bible - see below) reveals he is not a deist. Recall the two quotes I presented earlier:
“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have
removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the
people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are
not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my
country when I reflect that God is just; and that His justice
cannot sleep forever.” (Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781)
“I shall need, too, the favor of that Being in whose hands we
are, who led our forefathers, as Israel of old, from their
native land and planted them in a country flowing with all
the necessities and comforts of life.” (Monday, March 4,
1805, in his 2nd Inaugural Address)
