[Jefferson attended Christian religious services in the halls of Congress]
 
William Jefferson Clinton attended religious services in the National Cathedral too - but that doesn't make either one of them Christian.
 
Similarly, I've attended Wiccan services (a wedding) in the countryside... but that doesn't mean I practice their faith...
 
 
 
 
And speaking of the National Cathedral - it has no more to do with Christianity than children collecting Babylonian Ishtar Eggs on its lawn during spring solstice (Easter / Ishtar / Isis / Mary / Gaia)
 
 
Statuesque

Typical Idol worship; Typical of the Roman Empire's syncretist Un-Holy vestigial religious remains.

 
WoW!

Shock and Awe - moon rock in a stained glass window in the National Cathedral
 
 
What ya gonna do next your holiness - make the sun go dark during a total eclipse?  
 
 
 
 
 
Zap em wit the siren man; Zap em wit the siren - they love that;... but watch out, those @#$%# monkeys bite I tell ya!

Here is something of serious scholarship re Jefferson that were learned in college while taking a panoply of courses in American History and Constitutionalism. And, I mean in reputable colleges like Harvard and Yale. http://www.jstor.org/pss/2674241

If you wish to engage in serious scholarly debate it might help, if at the very least, you consult such materials before resorting to un-serious and sophomoric pictorial caricature that are unworthy of an intelligent riposte.

The National Cathedral is where the nation gathers together in times of celebration, grief, and mourning such as 9/11 or at the death of prominent Americans such as US Supreme Court Justices- like the services for the late President Gerald Ford. The services and liturgy are emphatically Christian. Not Hindu, not Buddhist, not Jewish.
