Yes, it is demonstrated that Washington was a spirtual man who did not approve of cursing, as well as other matters. Does this fact proclaim his Christianity?

Being a historian you must know that Washington invariably invoked the Heavens with a capital H. His farewell address to the Army and others.

"May ample justice be done them here, and may the choicest of Heaven's favors both here and hereafter attend those, who under the divine auspices have secured innumerable blessings for others: With these Wishes, and this benediction, the Commander in Chief is about to retire from service--The Curtain of seperation will soon be drawn--and the Military Scene to him will be closed for ever."

Deists do not invoke Heavens favors RD. That's the truth of the matter, it is a Christian belief.
