What you and the other evos are calling belief in God is called deism: the belief in God as Creator of the universe but the disbelief in Him as active ruler and guide as known from revelation. It is just atheism for those who are too cowardly to call themselves atheists. It is certainly unChristian and by rejecting the Word leads to the same lack of morals as atheism.

Weren't Washington and Jefferson, among other Founders, Deists?

You really don't know what's in someone's heart but G.W., by the best accounts was a Christian.

Jefferson was rather hostile to the idea of the Resurrection and the New Testament miracles. On the hand, he strongly and specifically promoted the teachings of Jesus believing they should be the values upon which our country should be based.
