The guy who wrote the article on Washington:

Some of his other works:

Makes me doubt the voracity of his claims.
As for Lincoln, it's kind of funny that he didn't start with the God references until he started running for office. Jefferson was a big fan of the French Revolution so it's hard for me to believe he was having a personal relationship with Christ. Apparently his relationship didn't really begin until after being accused of being an atheist in the 1790s. Those were the only links I had time to peruse at the moment. After reading them I can still say with confidence, the United States was not founded as a Christian state. Would there be a need for the First Amendment if it were? How could Rhode Island have been allowed to join such a nation?
