I know a bit about Washington and "devout believer" is simply untrue. He never went for communion as did Martha. Although a churchgoing man, there were many things more important to him than the practice of religion.

He was a Deist-type and belived that "Divine Providence" had watched over him so he could lead and found this nation. So, certainly he was a believer in a Divine Being, but "devout believer" I don't think so.

Not true. Washington was the most pious president and often used the specific name Jesus Christ, as opposed by the enigmatic "God" when addressing moral lessons.
