George Washington never stepped inside the church. He took his wife to church on Sundays and remained in the carriage while she attended services.

"Those who worshiped regularly at Christ Church include George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Robert Morris, Absalom Jones, Benjamin Rush, John Penn (William Penn's grandson), Francis Hopkinson and many others."

According to Christ Church, Philadelphia, history of the church.

ROFL!
Yeah, Wasington prayed/ate/slept everywhere back there!
Washington did not worship, he believed in "providence" like all Deists...That is a fact of history. Believe what you want, it changes nothing. As far as old Ben Franklin goes, I don't think Christians would have welcomed him into a church. At least not the Christians of today...He was a hedonist.
