I dispute your stated historical facts. GW was an active member of the Episcopal Church in Northern Virginia all of his life - served on the church vestry, a lay reader, etc.
Jefferson didn't write a Bible. He edited the KJV by deleting portions he felt he couln't agree. Mainly he took out the miracles. He just couldn't grasp a God of creation, a God of time and space, a God whose mysteries have always befuddled mankind.. He was a active member of an Episcopal church all his life. Apparently he found far more in which he agreed than disagreed. - Neither considered themselves UU.

I think GW was a Deism follower though. I know Jefferson certainly was in his later life. I believe the Unitarians use the Jefferson's edited Bible too. Try this link
Deism Unitarianism is a part of it.

George Washington is open to debate some sources say yes sme say no. Deism was prevailent during the early years of our nation even amongst some of the more well known founders. Not saying I agree with that belief. I don’t.
