Is it necessary that any one should [ask], “Did General Washington avow himself to be a believer in Christianity?" As well may we question his patriotism, his heroic devotion to his country. His mottos were, "Deeds, not Words"; and, "For God and my Country."
Nelly Custis-Lewis (Washington’s adopted daughter)
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
George Washington.
“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.”
George Washington. [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]
"To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian"
George Washington. [May 2, 1778, at Valley Forge]
