樓主的貼不符合事實!就說華盛頓,他從小就是基督徒。他在很多場合不經常表明自己是基督徒,是因為他堅持「政教分離」的立國原則,避免過多表明自己是基督徒而造成「政教不分」的誤解。而他本人信基督是事實。wiki是個不帶有信仰傾向性的網站,請看wiki的說明:
Unlike some of his fellow Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry, Washington rarely discussed or wrote about his religious and philosophical opinions in any great detail, yet he frequently displayed a humble and gracious respect towards Providence in his personal letters and public speeches. He was a registered member at a number of churches, where he attended, but not regularly, and served as an Anglican vestryman and warden for more than a decade and a half at a time when everyone in politics in Virginia had to be Anglican, and vestryman was a low rung on the political ladder, serving civil administration needs as well.
George Washington was baptized as an infant into the Church of England,[3][4] which, before the American Revolution, was the state religion of the colony of Virginia.[5] Because the British monarch is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and because its clergy are obliged to swear an Oath of Supremacy to the monarch, churches of this denomination in the United States joined together, after the Revolution, to establish the Episcopal Church. Until Virginia enacted the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1786), the Episcopal Church retained its role as the state religion of Virginia.[6] (The denominations that share the Church of England tradition remain associated in the Anglican Communion).
