Well some one appears to have found these quotes in these men's writings

Or just made them up. No reference to these quotes I've ever seen even states a specific writing or date and place.

Your Washington quote "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible" is always attributed to be from his farewell address of 1796, but if you'd like to read it for yourself, you'll find that the quote is not in there. It is a Christian fabrication.

I wasn't aware that this was ited from washington's farewell address

I don't remember bringing that up in discussion.

See but not you have admitted your bent.

It is a Christian fabrication.

So when you say if is a Christiano fabrication what exactly do you mean? Was this made up by Roman Catholics? Maybe Presbyterians? Anglicans? See I'm not sure that there was or is some secret group called "Christians" that sat down and made this and other quotes up.

Now we know that the quote didn't just materialize and we suspect that someone made the quote so maybe we could search for the first use of the offending quote rather than make a statement that ascribes an entity that does not exist the way you imply. The groups that are called by Christs name generally will not sit at a table with each other, much less agree to design quotes from Washington and Jefferson.
