Evidence - now. His own admission eh? Give me Washington's quote where he made such a statement!

By admission, I simply mean he never once claimed Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. On the other hand, he actually used ambiguous terms in describing God (i.e. "the Almighty") and praised the good morals of the Christian religion but nothing more. There's no evidence to support that George Washington claimed that Jesus Christ was his personal Lord and Savior as you have claimed.

The fact is that "Almighty" and "Providence" are old-fashioned CHRISTIAN terms used by the community of believers in the 18th and 19th centuries. And Washington's words about God's nature and actions are consistent with Christian doctrine and theology.

More dancing and squirming. An admission is the act of admitting or stating something. So to say that Washington was "not a Christian by his own admission" is to say that Washington explicitly said he was not a Christian.
