* * James Madison
Although educated by Presbyterian clergymen, young Madison was an avid reader of English deist tracts.
Madison as an adult paid little attention to religious matters.
However, some scholars say he leaned toward deism.
* * James Monroe
Little is known about Monroe’s religious beliefs. No letters survived in which he discussed his religious beliefs. Nor did his friends, family or associates comment on his beliefs.
Monroe was raised in a family that belonged to the Church of England when it was the state church in Virginia before the Revolution. As an adult, he frequently attended Episcopal churches.
Monroe believed in God for he said:
"If we persevere...we can not fail, under the favor of a gracious Providence...My fervent prayers to the Almighty that He will be graciously pleased to continue to us that protection which He has already so conspicuously displayed in our favor." (1)
