In 1776, when the General Assembly under the new Constitution first met, the members of the House of Delegates determined to revise the laws of Virginia in accordance with their new republican form of government. After losing two of the five original members, Thomas Jefferson took on the bulk of the committee’s work. As part of this project, he wrote the bill for Establishing Religious Freedom. In recent years, some have challenged the long-standing interpretation that it called for a strict separation of church and state. This reassessment rests on the interpretation of the other revisal bills concerning religion that were part of the revisal project. This more religion-friendly nature of these bills, they argue, confirms that Jefferson supported a more accommodating type of separationism. This chapter examines this revision of Jefferson’s views and determines that it is based on a flawed interpretation of the revisal bills.
