David Turner: Three presidents (and founding fathers) from Virginia were not Christians
The founding fathers of our country that were from Virginia, i.e., George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, were not Christians; furthermore, they were vehemently opposed to the mention of a God within any United States document. Look it up.
David Turner, Modesto
Editor’s note: Many scholars working with mountvernon.org believe Washington was a Christian; Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were considered deists.
