In otherwords, outsiders are making claims that these gentlemen said these supposed words about Judiasm yet all other historical writings that are available and actually based off the writings of these men doesn't jive with what your authors are trying to paint of them?
Sorry, but I'll rely more on Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson's personal writtings more then your sources and supposed '2nd hand I heard this/that'...Because from the historical writings from their own hands, they denounced the practice of Christianity and it's overt influence on goverments more then anything else...And if they supposedly felt this way about Judiasm when it was perfectly acceptable to be anti-Semantic, then their own public writings would have had those inclusions as well.
