Blackstone, who compiled the English Common Law would differ. Adultery was a crime under common law and for many years a crime in many states in the US. Check the 1892 US Supreme Court decision that refers to the US a “Christian nation”.

Jefferson’s words speak for themselves; Jefferson was a founder.
