I suppose that depends on your definition of the word "Christian". There are many Christians who don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, and who regard the Bible as a book of metaphors. While I can't say I agree with all of their positions, those other details not really what being a Christian is about.
Just saying i don't agree with everything Washington says cause he was a hypocrite like when he wanted freedom for all but had slaves, also he led the war against the British then said he wanted to get rid of war, so convenient that when it benefits him he changes him mind
remember the early U.S. was quite different- you had to own land to vote
we have this misconception it was freedom for all- it was really freedom from monarchy for those who had power
if you think about it very little actually changed for the people except for that they were no longer ruled by a "god appointed" king
the laws and customs stayed pretty much the same
The revolutionary idea was that we didn't need a king (or gods) to rule us- we could take care of ourselves
To be honest, I really agree with this picture. Faith and spirituality are beautiful concepts, but organized religion often takes those principles, and turns them into a legalistic horror.
Love it, Find a way to put it on a poster, then stand outside a Tea Party Headquarters- Profit from exploding heads.
Did you know them personally? I'd bet Satan told you this. xD
But they WERE deists.
But deists are not CHRISTAINS
They don't believe in the divinity of jesus, or the bible at all and many don't believe in good or evil or an afterlife
And some were agnostic,
but the major point is America is not a Christian nation

Most of the American Founding Fathers were hypocrites to a certain extent... but that should not be a mark against the wisdom of their sayings.
