George Washington and God

The lefties love to claim that certain Founding Fathers, especially Jefferson, were not Christians but deists. I'm sure the citizens who held them up for esteem, or elected them to high office, believed they were Christians and not merely deists.

It's nice to read a clear column on the topic, in this case George Washington's faith.

You can read an excerpt from Washington's prayer journal:

Washington was, in my estimation, a sincere Christian. I have read that the description of Jefferson as a deist probably is/was accurate, OTOH.
