Talk:George Washington (view source)
Revision as of 03:57, February 3, 2009
, 03:57, February 3, 2009what was his religion?
This isn't Wikipedia. If you want to say that the father of the greatest Christian republic wasn't a Christian, perhaps you should take it over there. Washington is the model of a Christian champion and to suggest otherwise is to suggest that America's roots aren't Judeo-Christian but secular. There are plenty of liberals who want to imply just that, that America was founded by secularists and pagan deists, men without any real devotion to Our Savior or Biblical principles. The whole reason Conservapedia exists is to assert the conservative vision of our Founding Fathers. [[User:LatinScholar|LatinScholar]] 21:46, 02/09 EST.

::Does it make out readers better citizens or Christians if we feed them information we know to be false. probably not. Was GW an atheist or secular? No. Was he a Christian? In terms of ritual yes--he attended public services. In terms of his beliefs, probably not. In public and private he used deist terms and ways of thinking. He almost never mentioned Jesus Christ. However, he did insist that religion was good for the nation and wanted to support it.[[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 22:57, 2 February 2009 (EST)
