"I can think of no society, ridden with priests, that did not end in tyranny."
"The wall of separation between church and state should remain high and impenetrable."
Both from Jefferson.
So, the words on his memorial are words originated from him. It's a quote on a grave, basically. That is not an indication that he believed his beliefs should be shove onto other people.
"It is of no concern to me, if my neighbor worships twenty Gods or none at all. It neither taxes my pocket, nor breaks my leg." ----also Jefferson
