In his Proclamation (post #57) he refers specifically to both "Almighty God" and the "Lord and Ruler of nations." Only Christians understand the triune nature of God, and refer to both our "Lord" and our "God" interchangeably.
This may come as a shock to you Christians...but not everyone who believes in God is a Christian.
Actually, you might be surprised at how little shocks me any longer. Or any of "us Christians," for that matter. I am aware of deists and Bhuddists and Krishnas and Catholics and Wiccans, Muslims and Taoists and atheists. None of them surprise me, nor do I mistake them for Christians.
Good Lord, you Christians sure are a conceited lot!

You may not, but some of your Christian brothers sure do! Washington's writings that were quoted on in post #57 gave no indication that he believed in the divinity of Jesus. They merely referred to Almighty God. Therefore, it was wrong to assume FROM THAT WRITING that he was a Christian. Some Christians have the crazy idea that anyone who refers to "Almighty God" or "The Lord" is a Christian.
