I won't discourage any quotes from Jefferson (or anyone else), but I would be more impressed with examples of legal concepts that originate with the Bible. I don't think that many people would argue that Jesus didn't have any good ideas, and obviously the Bible's presence would be felt in any document from the era. But very little of the law is based on it.
But I'm willing to look at examples.
