In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson. As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

A single point. The Monticello link references the "National Book of Common Prayer." A quick search gives no results. Is this the Episcopal church's BCP? That would make more sense. We're the old Church of England, our founders were largely the US founding fathers.

OK, yeah like they were just referring to the ordinary BCP of the Episcopal church then. Jefferson was spiritual, but not "Christian", and regarded Jesus as not diety but rather as the greatest philosopher of all time. He took a razor to the Bible and today it is the Jefferson Bible.
