1817-1825
Little is known about Monroe's religious views aside from the fact that he was raised in the Anglican Church, as were all individuals in colonial Virginia. An early biographer of Monroe noted: "He was extremely reticent in his religious sentiments, at least in all that he wrote. Allusions to his belief are rarely, if ever, to be met with in his correspondence." The lack of information has led Monroe to be characterized variously as an Episcopalian, a Deist and unaffiliated.
