We do not have to "believe" that George Washington existed. The evidence is overwhelming.
Even his enemies talked about him.
Quote: “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”
Said King George III about George Washington:
And, that's the point -- when does the "critical mass" get reached? After all, if twice the evidence for George Washington were to be discovered tomorrow, would that make it twice as likely that he truly existed? Of course, not; that would be absurd. George Washington existed, no doubt whatsoever about it. Jesus of Nazareth existed, also; what's wrong with atheists saying that he was just some 1st-century nut-job who got himself executed by the Romans? And, in the process, a World religion was started, kind of like Islam?
