Very true, and if you look at what Jefferson wrote about the Virginia Religious Freedom documents, he specifically mentions and welcomes followers of Islam and 'Hindoo.'

It puzzles me that Christians somehow interpret any form of deism as Christianity, but I'll bet that if you were to take a poll, the majority of them would do just that.
