The prayer that Mike Johnson attributed to Thomas Jefferson did not come from Jefferson. It came from a 1928 Episcopal prayer book.
But the idea that *Jefferson* said it; that it is evidence the US was founded as a “Christian nation” … hoo boy where *that* came from is … well not surprising actually

FWIW, here's a 1970 version of that apocryphal Thomas Jefferson prayer that Mike Johnson read in the House of Representatives today. It appeared in The Cross and the Flag, the magazine of Gerald LK Smith, a white supremacist & Christian Nationalist who was America's most notorious antisemite.
