LOL.  You're not seriously equating the Jefferson Bible with a red lettered edition of KJV?
 
The purpose of red lettering is FAR different from what Jefferson himself articulated as the reason he created the Jefferson Bible:
 
"we should have to strip off the artificial vestments in which they have been muffled by priests, who have travestied them into various forms, as instruments of riches and power to themselves. We must dismiss the Platonists and Plotinists, the Stagyrites and Gamalielites, the Eclectics, the Gnostics and Scholastics, their essences and emanations, their logos and demiurges, aeons and daemons, male and female, with a long train of … or, shall I say at once, of nonsense."
--Thomas Jefferson.
 
You really are a disingenuous nitwit if you think reasonable folks will buy what you're selling.   But you'll probably make a load of $$ from same gullible "Left Behind" readers who're likely still waiting for the rapture to deliver them from the exploding ARM on their McMansions.

Funny, but accurate.

Here's a great page from the Library of Congress on religious tyranny in the early years of the republic:
Religion and the Founding of the American Republic
V. Religion and the State Governments
