So to sum it up...yes, technically Jefferson founded the Republican Party in name but he really founded what is today's Democratic Party...fyi. And mentioning he was nearly atheist is an fyi, too.

Jefferson is actually the founder of the Democratic Party. But the Democrats were originally called Republicans back then. Then they were called the Democratic-Republicans and eventually Republicans was dropped from the name. In a long twisted way, the Federalists picked up the Republican name after it became available and are now today's Republican's. Also, Jefferson was nearly atheist.
