>>>Is it possible that President Washington believed he had no legal authority under the Constitution to issue religious recommendation, but did it anyway, for political reasons?<<<

No. Have you read his Farewell Address?

BTW, what is your agenda? Are you anti-Christian?

My agenda is to construe the U. S. Constitution according to the sense of its terms and the intention of the lawmakers.

But with respect to c&s separation, why do you seem to be treating your agenda as if it were an ongoing quest, as if Jefferson's notes about the 1st and 10th Amendments concerning state government power to address religion were inconclusive? Indeed, I agreed with another poster weeks ago that there is really no further discussion about the Founder's intentions concerning c&s separation. You, on the other hand, seem to be in denial about the Founder's intentions.
