Jefferson's tyranny-swearing site (5)

I believe the answer is:

altar

(Other definitions for altar that I've seen before include "Table used for the mass or eucharist" , "Site of worship" , "Table for religious sacrifices or ceremonies" , "section of church" , "Focus of church worship" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
