Can George Washington be quoted correctly as saying The government of the US is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion?
Matt22851
Oh yes, that is true. He and the other founding members were very careful about connecting the government to a religion. They had lived under a state religion and didn't want that for the United States. In fact, Washington and many of the founding fathers didn't consider themselves "Christian" they thought of themselves as believing in a higher power or God. It is only in recent years that many of the Christian groups have tried to make a "Christian country" out of the United States. I think our founders would be very upset to have this happen since we were founded on religious freedom and that is was added to the Bill of Rights to insure freedom of religion for all.
