George Washington was private about his religious life, so even people in his day were not sure about his religious convictions. At times, he didn’t go to church often, but at other times, he went weekly. Washington did not often talk explicitly about Christianity in his writings, but did use generally religious language. Washington read the Bible and it inspired some of his rhetoric. When asked directly to confirm that he was a disciple of Jesus Christ, Washington dodged the question. After the Revolutionary War, Washington stopped taking Communion, although skipping Communion was common back then. Washington didn’t mention his religion on his deathbed. Washington did think religion was important for society’s morality. Because he was private about his religious beliefs, it’s hard to say what he actually believed.
