Our founding fathers were not Christians.

[Major Nikon]

31. You keep ignoring what I wrote and instead wish to debate what I didn't write

It just so happens I have the very book you mentioned (as well as a few others on the subject) and nowhere in it does Ron Chernow declare Washington's belief in Christianity. So you may want to actually do a better job of reading the book, you're saying I should read (assuming you have actually read it and aren't just digging stuff up on google). You might want to read again these parts...

Washington's personal pastor in Philadelphia said he wasn't a Christian. Jefferson said Washington wasn't a Christian. Washington never took communion. Washington almost never referred to Jesus Christ in any of his writings. Washington never affirmed the divinity of Christ in any of his writings. Washington never declared his religious beliefs despite being implored by the Christian establishment to do so. Washington never asked for a Christian minister on his deathbed.

All the facts you point out about what Washington did or didn't do have very little to do with what he actually believed. Washington rose to prominence within the English establishment before the revolution during a time when one had to belong to the Angelical church in order to advance. Washington's wife was also an extremely devout Christian. Those two things easily explain why Washington spent so much time in the Christian church. Affilliation with the Christian church does not make one a Christian.

So if you think Ron Chernow's excellent book ends the 200 yr old debate on what Washington's beliefs were, you must be reading something I haven't. I'm pretty sure Ron Chernow himself would not make any such claim.

I didn't claim Washington was a deist, or a Christian, or anything else no matter how many times you wish I did. I claimed he never identified himself as a Christian, and nothing you have offered makes that any less true. As I said before, if you want to contradict me, start with reading what I actually wrote.
