You are ignorant of his beliefs. I can quote 30-40 times him calling Jesus "our Savior," defending his miracles one and all, in his book "The Reasonableness of Christianity." I don't need any other Christian testimony about what he believed than his own book to prove he believed virtually every word of the Gospels. Well sure he is "generally regarded" as a Deist because that is the ahistorical nonsense you hear in the typical history class. This claim is simply bogus and contradicts everything Locke said in "The Reasonableness of Christianity." Read it and you will soon change your mind.
Fair enough. Cite your 30-40 quotes.
